At National Star, we don’t just work—we transform lives. We’re looking for a compassionate, dedicated Occupational Therapist to become a vital part of our vibrant multi-disciplinary team based in Ullenwood on the outskirts of Cheltenham. This will be a part time (32 - 37 hours per week) term time only role.
This is more than a job. It’s a calling for those who believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live life to their fullest potential. Every day, your work will matter.
You’ll empower young people with complex physical and learning difficulties, helping them develop skills, confidence, and independence. You’ll use your creativity and clinical expertise to design personalised therapy programmes that don’t just meet needs—they unlock potential.
Your Role Will Include:
- Designing and delivering safe, meaningful interventions that enhance wellbeing, skill development, and independence
- Working closely with students, families, and professionals to achieve life-changing outcomes
- Managing your own caseload with autonomy and accountability
- Keeping accurate, respectful records in line with professional standards
- Always putting the student at the heart of what you do
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.
What You Bring:
- BSc in Occupational Therapy, HCPC registration (and ideally, RCOT membership) - we can consider newly qualified graduates or those with some experience to build upon as you progress your career with us.
- Previous experience in paediatrics, neurology, acquired brain injury, wheelchairs and special seating, complex disability, profound and multiple learning disability or sensory integration would be of particular interest to us, but for new graduates we can help you develop your expertise in these areas
- A heart for learners with complex needs—and the resilience, skill and creativity to support them
- The ability to communicate with empathy and clarity across all levels working across multidisciplinary teams internally and externally
- A positive, proactive approach to collaboration, problem-solving and reflection
- Access to transport and the flexibility to occasionally travel to other campuses
