Location: Brent, North West London

Salary: NHS Band 6 Outer London

Job Type: Full-Time, Term-Time Only

Contract: Permanent / Long-Term

Start Date: September 2026

Are you a Paediatric Occupational Therapist looking for a role where your clinical skills can truly make a difference, within a setting that offers genuine variety, and outstanding opportunities for professional development?

This Band 6 OT job in North West London is based within a highly specialist SEN school in Brent, supporting pupils aged 3 19 with a diverse range of needs including autism, complex physical, cognitive and medical needs, Down's syndrome, and developmental or learning disabilities.

You will join an established, fully integrated multidisciplinary team based entirely on-site, working alongside Speech & Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Therapy Assistants, and Creative Arts Therapists. This embedded MDT model is genuinely uncommon within SEN school settings, and it creates a collaborative, holistic approach to therapy that directly benefits the pupils you support.

Working closely with class staff, you will help ensure that EHCP assessments are thorough and that provision is delivered in line with recommendations. Alongside direct therapy work, you will contribute to in-class support and whole-staff training, playing an active role in embedding OT strategies consistently across the school day.
