J800006477
Occupational Therapist - Permanent
Salary: £43,025- £48,241
Location: East London/Barking
Hours: Full Time
Client group: on-site schools in London
Sponsorship available

You will be linked with one of their on-site schools in London, whilst also supporting and elevating the wellbeing of highly vulnerable young people through specialist online therapy practice.

This client is an independent social enterprise, providing specialist therapeutic education based in London supporting exceptional neurodiverse children and young people aged 7 to 19 who have special educational needs and disabilities typically associated with autism, social emotional and mental health needs and associated disorders. Most of them will have experienced multiple placement breakdowns and significant trauma, often resulting in behaviour that challenges. On average pupils will have been excluded from other provisions up to three times before reaching us and had significant periods out of education.

The Vacancy:
The Great Minds Therapy Offer allows our client to provide expert support, collaborating with our client in educational and pastoral staff, to ensure the effective delivery of therapeutic education, bespoke interventions and unique learning opportunities for neurodiverse pupils who have a range of complex needs, and who demonstrate behaviours linked to trauma. Pupils are encouraged to find and express their creativity and provided opportunities to achieve awards, alongside traditional subjects, as they move from dependence on others to independence through therapeutic interventions..

The young people in their therapeutic education services have a history of being let down by education settings, with their needs and behaviours misunderstood. Many pupils have experienced tier 3 or 4 traumas, are at high risk of aggressive or sexualised behaviour, complex offending, gang affiliation, attachment disorders, complex physical, psychological and healthcare needs.

Our Clients pupils learn at one of our two schools, at our Create Learning Primary, through our Create in the Community service or within our National Online School; our Create services support our most complex and vulnerable pupils, with highly differentiated and personalised holistic therapeutic education programmes developed for each pupil focusing on development milestones. When they are ready, we aim for pupils to step down from Create into one of our main school, our Sixth Form, or into mainstream provisions.
