Summary
A Vacancy at Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust.
We are looking for a passionate and dedicated Children’s Occupational Therapist to join our team and provide high-quality, inclusive therapy to children and young people aged 0-19. This role will involve supporting children with a wide range of physical, learning, emotional and social needs, including those who are vulnerable or involved in child protection concerns. You’ll be working across various community settings, nurseries, mainstream and special needs schools, and you’ll spend part of your week working in a special school environment.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values:
• Accountability – We take responsibility for delivering safe and effective practice.
• Inclusion – Every child and family deserves to be heard, valued, and respected.
• Compassion – We approach every situation with empathy, offering support that truly cares.
• Empowerment – We help children build the confidence and skills they need to thrive in daily life.
This is a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of children and young people in our community. If you're committed to making a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
• Provide an inclusive, child-centred Occupational Therapy service for children and young people, aged 0-19, with diverse needs. This includes children who may be vulnerable or require safeguarding support and ensuring statutory support is in line with The Children’s Act (2014) and EHCPs.
• Deliver compassionate therapy that is meaningful, accessible and empowering to every child and their family
• Manage a varied caseload across community and school settings, working collaboratively with other professionals in a multidisciplinary team to create positive outcomes.
• Demonstrate professionalism and accountability through clear communication, effective clinical reasoning and timely documentation.
• Partner with families, carers, educators and other professionals to create a supportive, inclusive environment where everyone’s input is valued.
We are proud to be one of the largest community healthcare providers in the country, with more than 4,500 colleagues caring for over four million people across London and Hertfordshire. Every day, our teams bring their skill, compassion, and determination to the people who depend on us.
What inspires us is at the heart of who we are: when we work together, we can help people move forward in ways that truly matter. Our teams support children as they take their first steps in life, and they stand beside adults as they rebuild strength, confidence, and independence. From new born health visiting to community nursing, stroke rehabilitation, and palliative care, we are there for people through some of life’s most important moments.
Joining Central London Community Healthcare means becoming part of a community that lifts each other up. It means working in an organisation that values compassion, welcomes new ideas, and believes in the potential of every colleague. Your development matters here. Your wellbeing matters. Your voice helps shape the future of the care we provide.
We offer a competitive employment package because the work you do matters. At Central London Community Healthcare, you will join an inclusive organisation that invests in its people, supports development, and helps you thrive while delivering high-quality care.
Successful applicants will be required to demonstrate alignment with the Trust’s values - Accountability, Inclusion, Compassion, and Empowerment, alongside fulfilling the duties detailed in the attached Job Description and Person Specification.
