Occupational Therapist – Children and Young People At MacIntyre Children's Homes and School, we have created something genuinely distinctive: a small, close-knit community in Wingrave where children and young people with complex needs live, learn and grow — often for the first time in an environment where they truly feel safe and understood. Our school sits at the heart of the site, with two residential homes on the same grounds and two further homes nearby. Across these small homes, every child has their own personalised bedroom, their own key relationships with staff, and their own path forward. Learning doesn't stop at the school gates; it happens at home, in the community, through life skills, creative arts, physical activity and everything in between. Following our most recent Ofsted inspection, our homes and school were rated Good. Inspectors particularly noted how our teams work alongside therapists to support children to communicate, make choices and express themselves. Inspectors praised how staff value children's voices, use individualised communication aids, and work with therapists to help children express themselves and make choices about activities, room décor and meals — as well as the team's proactive approach to emotional wellbeing, calming strategies and understanding the reasons behind distress. — Ofsted inspection report The role This is where you come in. We are looking for an HCPC-registered Occupational Therapist to join our multidisciplinary Health and Therapy team — someone who wants to do genuinely specialist work rather than manage a distant caseload. You will be present in the places where these children actually live and learn, working alongside residential staff, teachers and families to embed therapy into daily routines in ways that create lasting change. Your caseload will span young people with neurological differences, coordination challenges, sensory processing needs and attention and behavioural complexities. You will carry out specialist assessments — across self-care, development, sensory processing, and fine and gross motor skills — and translate complex findings into goals and programmes that the whole team around a child can use.

Who we are looking for Whether you are an experienced CYP OT or looking to deepen your specialist practice, we would love to hear from you. What matters most is that you are child-centred and clinically confident — someone who believes that every young person deserves to be heard, to feel capable, and to participate fully in their own life.
