Sensory Integration Training is desirable but not essential
Remit
Compass Associates is proudly working with a small, specialist provider of community paediatric Occupational Therapy, to recruit an Occupational Therapist to join their West Midlands team.
You will work directly with children and young people, from birth to 25 years old, who have a range of complex needs and conditions including Autism, learning disabilities, sensory processing disorders, Cerebral Palsy, physical disabilities and backgrounds of trauma, attachment disorders or brain injuries.
This is a hybrid role where you will carry out comprehensive sensory assessments and deliver holistic, child-centred interventions either at the specially equipped sensory clinic in Solihull or out in the community. In addition to the direct clinical work, you will write detailed reports, contribute to EHCPs and work collaboratively with families, schools and healthcare teams to provide specialist recommendations regarding equipment, technology and environmental modifications.
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.
Although working independently, you would be part of a wider Occupational Therapy team and have regular team meetings, clinical supervision and further training. There are also excellent career progression opportunities where you can develop your specialist knowledge, skills and training in Sensory Integration.
