Occupational Therapist

Integrity Education Solutions are supporting the appointment of an experienced Occupational Therapist for a brand-new specialist SEN provision opening in South London from September 2026. The new school will support pupils aged 7–16 with Autism and associated conditions, including those who may not yet have a formal diagnosis but display traits requiring specialist intervention. The approach will be therapeutic, structured, and ambitious, with a strong focus on rebuilding confidence, independence, and life skills alongside academic achievement.
