How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four*?

Our colleagues’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we’re always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s work/life balance. We’re taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent).

If the trial is a success, we’ll be rolling the 4DWW out across the Group – so there’s never been a more exciting time to join #teamOFG!

Are you an Occupational Therapist excited to work during times of transformative change?

If so, we have the role for you! We are growing our Clinical Teams and are looking for Occupational Therapists throughout London to work within our SEN Schools.

You will be part of a multi-disciplinary well-being and therapeutic team providing essential services to meet the needs of our pupils.

We have several vacancies throughout London, with new opportunities arising in the coming months. You can view all current vacancies at www.outcomesfirstgroup.co.uk.
