A leading special education provider is now seeking a driven Occupational Therapist to join the team in Brighton, supporting autistic children and young people to reach their learning goals and widening access to life-changing opportunities.

You will benefit from a full, tailored induction programme upon starting, followed by further training opportunities as part of a well-rounded CPD and career progression pathway – on top of ongoing clinical supervision, peer support, and e-learning options.
