At Rehabilitation for Independence, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to live life on their own terms. We are looking for a dedicated Occupational Therapist to join our Sensory Integration Team, helping children and young people overcome challenges and achieve their full potential.
This is a community-based role, so the ability to travel is essential. You'll work in clinic, home, and school settings, supporting clients with mixed needs and diagnoses, including Autism and ADHD. Alongside hands-on therapy, you’ll play a key role in progressing cases through the rehabilitation process, keeping local authorities informed of each child’s journey.
We will also consider Physiotherapists or Speech & Language Therapists with relevant sensory integration experience and qualifications.
What You'll Be Doing
· Assess motor, sensory, and perceptual skills and their impact on daily life
· Use standardised and non-standardised assessments to tailor support to each client
· Create individualised treatment plans and reports that track progress and outcomes
· Work collaboratively with families, schools, and local authorities to ensure the best possible support
· Handle challenging behaviours with confidence, care, and a person-centred approach
About You
· HCPC-registered Occupational Therapist with a recognised degree/qualification
· At least 2 years’ experience working with children or within education
· Knowledge of Autism, ADHD, and Sensory Integration Therapy
· Experience in writing Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) reports
· SI Modules 1 & 2 (desirable) – we will support the right candidate to complete further training
· Membership with the Royal College of Occupational Therapists
