Children's Occupational Therapist - EHCP & SEND
South West | 💷 £34-£35 per hour | ⏳ Part-time / Full-time (3-5 days per week) | Contract to Sept 2026
Are you an experienced Children's Occupational Therapist looking for a role where your expertise genuinely shapes outcomes for young people with SEND? Our client are offering a rare opportunity to step into a highly rewarding position within their SEND service, supporting children and families with a diverse range of needs, including complex disabilities.
This is more than just a locum contract - it's a chance to have real influence in shaping EHCP provision, supporting tribunals, and ensuring the very best outcomes for children and families across the county. With a secure year-long contract (to September 2026, with extension potential) and the choice to work 3-5 days per week, you'll enjoy the stability and flexibility that few agency roles can offer.
Why this role stands out:
You'll be joining a forward-thinking and supportive SEND service where your specialist knowledge is valued at the highest level. With a manageable caseload, long-term contract security, and complete flexibility to shape your working week, you'll have the space and freedom to focus on delivering impactful, child-centred OT interventions.
Flexible working arrangements, including remote options where appropriate, allow you to balance professional commitments with your lifestyle. The service places real emphasis on professional respect, so your expertise will be central in driving practice and influencing provision at both case and policy level.
The role includes:
Carrying a diverse caseload of children and young people with SEND needs.
Delivering specialist assessments, tailored interventions, and detailed written reports to inform EHCPs.
Acting as a trusted advisor when OT provision in EHCPs is challenged, with scope to lead input in appeals and tribunals.
Collaborating closely with families, schools, and professionals to ensure high-quality support.
Providing expert witness contributions in legal proceedings, strengthening the voice of OT in SEND services.
What you'll bring:
Proven experience in Children's OT, ideally within SEND and EHCP contexts.
Strong report-writing skills, with the ability to produce outcome-focused, evidence-based recommendations.
Knowledge of the SEND Code of Practice and local authority frameworks.
Confidence in handling complex cases and working in multi-agency settings.
HCPC registration and an enhanced DBS (we can support if not in place).
What you'll gain:
Hourly rate up to £35 p/hour with weekly pay.
Stable year-long contract with extension potential - rare security for a locum role.
Flexible working pattern: choose 3-5 days per week to suit your lifestyle.
Remote and hybrid working options where appropriate.
The chance to lead and influence high-profile SEND cases, including tribunal work.
A supportive professional environment, working closely with EHCP teams and senior stakeholders.
Dedicated consultant support from NonStop Consulting, with over a decade of experience guiding social care professionals through every step of their placements.
