School Based Occupational Therapist Kingston, South West London | Full-time | Permanent | £32,000 - £45,000| Term-time Only + 5 Weeks Holiday Work

Some schools talk about being “therapeutic”. This one lives and breathes it.

You’ll feel it the moment you walk through the door — a calm, welcoming environment where children who’ve struggled elsewhere finally feel safe enough to learn, play, and thrive. It’s a setting built around helping children with speech, language and communication needs, often alongside sensory processing and motor coordination challenges.

And they’re looking for a Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join their team.

What makes this different? You won’t be juggling huge caseloads or trying to squeeze in therapy at the edges of a busy day. Here, therapy is fully integrated into the curriculum. You’ll be working closely with teachers, speech and language therapists, art therapists and support staff. You’ll have time and space to build proper relationships with your students and see the progress you’re helping them make.

You’ll mainly support Upper Primary and Secondary pupils (roughly ages 9-19), many of whom arrive with low confidence and big barriers. But over time, you’ll help them build life skills, independence and pride in what they can do — whether that’s handwriting, cutting with scissors, or learning to regulate their emotions.

What we’re looking for
