Job description

We’re looking for Occupational Therapists to join our growing network of professionals delivering high-quality therapeutic assessments and interventions to meet the provision agreed in Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) for children and young people.

This is an excellent opportunity for OTs seeking flexible, ad hoc work with the added benefit of ongoing assignments. Whether you're looking to supplement your current role or work independently and have extra capacity, we offer consistent opportunities that align with your skills and availability.

We work with Local Authorities across the country to support with Therapies assessments and provision. Please apply to be considered to join our pool of professionals, for a further conversation about skills, experience, availability etc.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Delivering OT provision on an ad hoc basis, with packages typically running throughout an academic year, for anywhere between 5-50 hours per package
• Working independently with support from our wider team
• Visiting children and young people at home and in education settings

What We’re Looking For:

• HCPC-registered, UK based Occupational Therapists
• A child centred approach, and experience completing assessments towards EHCPs or delivering provision as outlined in EHCPs are essential
• Strong clinical reasoning and report‑writing skills
• Availability on some weekdays

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay rates - to be discussed following application
• Flexible working arrangements - take on as much or as little work as you like
• Regular work opportunities matched to your areas of expertise and preferences
• Supportive and responsive team at Reed to help with any queries

Please apply to be considered, and all applicants with relevant qualifications and experience will be contacted for further discussion around specific areas of expertise, and age groups that you like working with.

Please note we are unable to offer sponsorship for this position and as such are unable to consider applicants who do not have the right to work in the UK.
