The purpose of this role is to provide occupational assessments and interventions remotely to children and young people who access their learning hours through our online provision. The Occupational Therapist, as part of the online therapy team, will support staff to deliver a therapeutic environment for all pupils. Additionally, the role will hold a caseload of children with significant trauma and adverse childhood experience who require a more specific and bespoke input. The Occupational Therapist will work closely with the online teaching team to meet the needs of the young people they work with and support them to engage in learning.
They advice on moderating the learning environment to support young people in reaching their full potential and on developing and implementing a therapeutic environment by building a therapeutic understanding & culture through training, workshops and general promotion of therapeutic practice to all staff.
