We are looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist to join our Therapies team, supporting a young person in Oxford.

- Coach and support school staff and other key adults to embed therapeutic strategies into daily routines
- Monitor progress and adapt programmes to ensure interventions remain effective
- Liaise with parents, education staff and other professionals
- Maintain accurate clinical records, attend multidisciplinary meetings and produce an annual review report where required
