Our client is looking for professionals who want to champion the voice and rights of people with learning disabilities and Autistic people to live their best lives and reach their potential in all areas of life.

This Specialist College (assessed as Outstanding) offers life-changing learning opportunities to young people and adults with special education needs and disabilities.

Eight vibrant community-based College Centres across London and Surrey where committed specialist teams deliver a range of programmes to meet the needs of over 400 students.

Students who study with us have a wide range of needs, including profound and multiple learning disabilities, communication and behavioural difficulties and specific medical conditions. All students are individuals, and their learning programmes are designed to support and empower them to achieve their aspirations and goals whilst developing skills to become more independent community members.

The Occupational Therapy Team are passionate about:

· Working collaboratively with curriculum staff, parents & carers to help students achieve their full potential in college and the community.

· Promoting students’ independence and access to all areas of life.

· Creating capable and enabling environments within a multi-disciplinary Positive Behaviour Support framework.

· Researching, trialling, and recommending affordable, creative, and evidenced-based assistive devices and technology to empower students’ independence in meaningful activities.

· Promoting all students’ health and well-being through assessing and providing appropriate seating and accessing interests within their local communities.

· Championing creative projects to facilitate students’ engagement in and curriculum development.

· Supporting each other, our OT team, to realise and develop our clinical and professional potential.

· Working collaboratively and creatively with the rest of the Integrated Services team, including Occupational Therapy, Creative Arts therapists, Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Positive behaviour support leads.

We are looking for an Occupational Therapy Clinical Lead to manage the Occupational Therapy service of therapists and assistants across the college and sit on the leadership team of the Integrated Services team, with potential impact at both a strategic and operational level.
