Your Opportunity

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and friendly team member who is able to support a child in EYFS with physical needs on a one-to-one and small group basis.

The successful candidate will need to have an understanding of how to deliver an occupational therapy plan and a physiotherapy program. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a professional attitude; a real desire to put the children’s needs first and have the ability to work well in a team. The hours of work are for 5 days a week, starting at 8:00am and finishing at 3:15pm. The hours and pattern of work is subject to change due to the business needs of the school.  

Your appointment will meet a temporary need to support pupils with an Education Health Care plan (EHC) at the School. Your appointment will terminate when the pupil has left the School, or when EHC funding for the pupil is no longer available, whichever is the sooner.
