Are you a passionate Occupational Therapist looking for a rewarding new challenge where you can genuinely transform young people's lives?
We're delighted to be working with an innovative and forward-thinking specialist education provider that is opening a new school in Maidstone.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic Band 6 or Band 7 Occupational Therapist to join a supportive, multidisciplinary team and play an important role in developing therapeutic services within this exciting new setting.

What's on Offer?
- Excellent salary of £40,000–£45,000, depending on experience
- Private healthcare package, including medical and dental insurance
- Generous professional development opportunities, with up to 100% financial support towards relevant qualifications

- Discounted gym membership and additional lifestyle benefits
- Supportive, collaborative working environment, with a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary teamwork
- The opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of children and young people
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Role
You'll be working with children and young people who have Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, alongside other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Working closely with teaching staff, families, and other therapists, you'll develop and deliver individualized therapeutic programmes that help pupils overcome barriers, build independence, and achieve their potential.
Who We're Looking For
We're keen to speak with qualified Occupational Therapists who:
- Have experience working with children and young people, or a strong interest in moving into specialist education
- Are passionate about supporting pupils with SEMH and additional needs
- Enjoy working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams
- Are enthusiastic, adaptable, and keen to develop professionally
- Want to play an important part in shaping therapeutic provision within a new specialist school
