The successful candidate will be compassionate, enthusiastic and motivated to improve the lives of young people with a learning disability who are presenting with significant behaviours that challenge, whilst also minimising the impact of mental ill health.
The successful candidate will be delivering occupational therapy working flexible hours across the entire week. The ability to engage and communicate with children and young people across the developmental spectrum as well as the parents/carers and system around them is essential.
