At Oakbridge Federation we have an exciting opportunity to recruit a Play/Art therapist to join our nurturing Federation.

Our Federation consists of two primary schools, Forster Park Primary and Rangefield Primary School both of which are 2 form entry.  We are situated in Downham and Whitefoot wards in Lewisham.  

Both schools  have opened a Nurture unit in the past few years and we now wish to recruit an Art/Play therapist to enable us to support the needs of  our children.  We believe that in order  for our children to achieve academically they must also have their social and emotional needs met.

The role will be a mixture of 1:1 sessions and small group work across the two schools, depending on the age of the children and their needs.    

The successful applicant, will work 2 days in each school every week and the third day will be spent on administration tasks/planning sessions/planning training for staff and report writing for outside agencies and School reports.  Previous experience of working with primary age children in school is essential to this role.

It is essential that you feel we are the Federation for you, therefore would recommend that you visit prior to application.  For any queries or to arrange a visit to the Federation, please contact Executive Headteacher:  Mrs M Fenniche on 07977 711021 or email mfenniche1.209@lgflmail.org.
