This Paediatric Occupational Therapist role is ideal for an experienced children’s OT who wants a clear, flexible role with an established caseload, practical support, and the opportunity to make an immediate impact with children and young people across Hampshire. You’ll work across schools, homes, clinic and community settings, supporting neurodiverse children and young people with assessment, treatment planning and therapy input.

Why This Role

This role offers flexibility, autonomy, and exposure to a varied paediatric caseload across school, home, clinic and community settings.

You’ll work closely with parents, carers, schools and other professionals, with a caseload allocated within a reasonable Hampshire radius.

You will:

• Complete paediatric OT assessments in schools, homes, clinic and community settings
• Write clinical notes, reports, therapy recommendations and treatment goals
• Deliver therapy input for children and young people with neurodiverse, sensory and functional needs
• Liaise with parents, carers, schools and other professionals involved in the child’s care
• Manage your caseload and diary while maintaining HCPC and RCOT standards

What You’ll Bring

• HCPC registration as an Occupational Therapist
• RCOT membership and professional indemnity insurance
• Minimum 2–4 years’ paediatric OT experience
• Experience working with neurodiverse children and young people aged 2–25
• Full UK driving licence, access to a car and willingness to travel across an allocated Hampshire caseload
• Right to work in the UK

Benefits & Environment
