Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Occupational Therapist will provide inclusive, person-centred therapy to children and young people aged 0-25 within a multidisciplinary team. They will also build the capacity of parents, carers, and professionals through assessment, advice, and training to support recovery and future aspiration.
Candidates must be qualified Occupational Therapists registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). The role requires experience in clinical assessment and a commitment to trauma-informed practice within community and education settings.
This is a unique role in a community led multi-disciplinary team focussed on delivering educational support that builds the confidence and capacity of all stakeholders locally. As the sole Occupational Therapist in the Grenfell Education Team you will be working adaptably and innovatively alongside a Speech and Language Therapist, specialist teachers, an Educational Psychologist, and a Family Practitioner. You will collaborate with the multi-disciplinary team, working with children and young people, families, professionals, and institutions who continue to live with the impact of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. Through trauma-informed, relationship-based practice, you will connect with the community to engage with learning, regain confidence, and begin to imagine futures led not by fear or limitation, but by ambition, aspiration and possibility.
You’ll be based in North Kensington, with the majority of your time working directly with local people and professionals, and around 20% of your week available flexibly for professional learning and team commitments. Your time will be divided equally between school based delivery and responding directly to residents who visit the Education Hub. The collaborative, multi-disciplinary nature of the approach values clear professional roles and as a result benefits from each specialism’s expertise.
As the Hub’s Occupational Therapist, you will practise as an autonomous professional with your specialist expertise recognised and protected. You will receive regular profession‑specific supervision that supports ethical practice, reflective judgement, and learning opportunities, alongside supportive line management to enable safe, reflective and sustainable practice and strong multidisciplinary working across the team.
Your work will focus on building the capacity of other professionals and parents / carers to support children and young people with a variety of needs. You’ll provide advice and guidance, assessment, and ongoing support as well as contributing to training and impact evaluation. You will provide inclusive, person-centred Occupational Therapy for children and young people aged 0-25 with diverse needs. You will deliver compassionate therapy that is meaningful, accessible and empowering to every child and their family. You will work with children, young people, parents / carers and school staff across community and education settings, working collaboratively with other professionals in a multidisciplinary team to create positive outcomes.
You will also design and deliver tailored interventions to support children and young people to function and thrive. Your focus will be on restoring a sense of agency and potential — helping children and their families believe in their right to belong, achieve, and aspire.
You’ll carry out a variety of assessments and write clear, accessible reports that support real, sustainable change. These aren’t just clinical exercises — they are acts of advocacy, helping schools, families and professionals understand what young people need to feel safe, connected and capable of moving forward.
For further details, please review the Job Description and Person Specification
You’ll be an experienced, qualified Occupational Therapist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). You’ll bring not only the clinical skills required to assess and advise, but a deep commitment to ensuring that the lives of young people affected by Grenfell are not defined by trauma alone. You’ll be working creatively, listening to stakeholders’ views to refine your work and bring about changes that can last.
You’ll be a thoughtful communicator and collaborator, able to build trust with families, schools and professionals who may still be navigating the long tail of loss and disruption. You’ll be confident working at different levels — supporting change not just for individuals, but across classrooms, families and communities — always with the goal of helping children grow into futures shaped by choice, not circumstance.
At RBKC, we’re all in – investing in our people, our communities and our future.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a long-term, community-led response to one of the most devastating tragedies in recent history. At the Grenfell Education Hub, we’re not just supporting recovery — we’re protecting futures. You’ll join a team that is deeply committed to making sure no child is left to carry the weight of this tragedy alone, and that every young person has the chance to be seen not just for what they’ve endured, but for who they are and what they hope to become.
If you share our belief that every young person has the right to feel safe, to imagine a different future, and to be supported as they work toward it — we would welcome your application.
