Full time, term time only   

St Dominic’s School, an Autism Accredited school rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, is a weekly residential and day school catering for up to 100 students between the age of 7 – 19 who have a range of academic abilities but with complex special needs. We offer a truly multi-disciplinary approach, teachers work with therapy and care staff to enhance the learning process and provide an exciting waking day curriculum. Staff work together to provide a blended approach to therapeutic and educational support, both within individual lessons and across the school as a whole. 

We are looking for an enthusiastic and strongly motivated individual to join our experienced team providing intensive specialist support for pupils and students. We seek a therapist who wants to develop their career, skills and knowledge in a specialist educational setting from Key Stage 2 to 5. Experience of working with children and young people with a range of needs including autism and sensory processing disorders is desirable. 

This is a unique opportunity to develop clinical skills within an educational environment, offering the chance to work collaboratively with a range of professionals and to use therapeutic skills creatively to meet the needs of pupils and students. In return we offer excellent support from colleagues and staff, commitment to CPD, access to internal and external training. 

If you believe you can help our learners to fulfil their potential at school, at home and in their communities and are looking for a fresh challenge, then this role may be just what you are looking for.
