Developmental Band 3-4 Children’s Occupational Therapy Technical Instructor (Special schools)
Base: County Wide, with clinical bases in Warwick, Rugby & Nuneaton.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Technical Instructor to join our Integrated Children’s Community Occupational Therapy Team. This is a developmental role offering training and support to build essential clinical skills in line with our service-specific competency framework. During your probationary period, you will work towards Band 3 competencies, with progression to the Band 4 framework once achieved.
You will primarily support the special school pathway for children and young people aged 0–19 but may work across the service as needed. You will deliver developmentally appropriate intervention programmes, coordinate clinical appointments involving multiple agencies, and order, track, install, adjust, and maintain specialist supportive equipment for children and young people.
Therapy is delivered in clinics, homes, and educational settings, so an independent means of transport is essential.
Experience as a therapy assistant or in an educational setting is desirable, but we welcome adaptable, positive team players eager to learn.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
