• Support children with ASD, ADHD, sensory processing differences, developmental delay, motor planning, and emotional regulation needs

• Work closely with parents, schools, and multidisciplinary colleagues to support practical outcomes

What You’ll Bring

• HCPC registration as an Occupational Therapist
• Degree qualification in Occupational Therapy
• Paediatric occupational therapy experience
• Experience assessing and supporting children with neurodevelopmental, sensory, developmental, physical, social communication, or functional needs
• Strong understanding of safeguarding, confidentiality, data protection, and HCPC documentation standards
