Job description

Join the Brent Children's and Young People's Occupational Therapy Team as a full-time Occupational Therapy Assistant. We are looking for someone who enjoys working with children and is keen to learn and develop their skills. This varied role combines clinical and administrative responsibilities, supporting Occupational Therapists to deliver care across clinics, schools and nurseries. You will work directly with children who have occupational therapy needs and communicate with education staff and other colleagues involved in their support. Clear and effective communication skills are therefore essential. If you are enthusiastic about supporting children and young people and would like the opportunity to develop your experience within occupational therapy, we would welcome your application. Please note: this post is not eligible for sponsorship.

• Support Occupational Therapists by providing regular, ongoing therapy to children, with appropriate support and supervision.
• Work collaboratively with Occupational Therapists, providing regular feedback to help ensure children receive appropriate care and treatment to maximise their potential.
• Develop, prepare and maintain therapy resources and handouts.
• Provide administrative support for clinical and related activities, including preparing materials, photocopying and filing. We are proud to be one of the largest community healthcare providers in the country, with more than 4,500 colleagues caring for over four million people across London and Hertfordshire. Every day, our teams bring their skill, compassion, and determination to the people who depend on us.

What inspires us is at the heart of who we are: when we work together, we can help people move forward in ways that truly matter. Our teams support children as they take their first steps in life, and they stand beside adults as they rebuild strength, confidence, and independence. From newborn health visiting to community nursing, stroke rehabilitation, and palliative care, we are there for people through some of life's most important moments. Joining Central London Community Healthcare means becoming part of a community that lifts each other up. It means working in an organisation that values compassion, welcomes new ideas, and believes in the potential of every colleague. Your development matters here. Your wellbeing matters.
