KT Healthcare is a family-owned private healthcare company specialising in Neurodevelopmental, Brain Injury and Therapeutic Services. We are committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred support that enables children and young people to thrive.

We are looking for an experienced Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join our growing Therapeutic Services team, supporting children and young people aged 8–16 years who are receiving Education Otherwise Than At School (EOTAS) provision as part of their Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

This is a 2 day per week position for the full academic year, starting in September.

You will be HCPC registered and have experience working with children and young people with:

• Autism
• Sensory processing differences
• Learning disabilities
• Mental health needs
• Challenging behaviours

You'll be confident undertaking assessments, delivering evidence-based interventions and contributing to EHCP provision. You will have experience supporting children to develop functional, sensory, motor and self-regulation skills to enable them to access education and achieve meaningful outcomes. Flexibility to travel throughout West Sussex is essential.

Successful candidates will also complete Children and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) training, fully funded as part of the role.

• A supportive and professional working environment
• Access to group training and continued professional development
• Regular peer support and 1:1 supervision sessions
• Highly competitive rates of pay

As KT Healthcare continues to grow, there are excellent opportunities for professional development, increased hours and the potential to progress into a permanent full-time role in the future, should this be of interest.

If you are passionate about delivering high-quality Occupational Therapy services and want to be part of an organisation committed to improving outcomes for children and families, we would love to hear from you.
