Children's Occupational Therapist Experts at Hand Clinical Lead

Band 7 - £55,524 - £62,652 inclusive of HCAS
37.5 hours per week

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and motivated Occupational Therapist to lead delivery of Bromley’s Experts at Hand (EaH) model, supporting SEND reform and strengthening universal and targeted provision across education and early years settings.

EaH is a nationally recognised approach that brings specialist expertise directly into mainstream settings, helping schools and providers build confidence, capacity and inclusive practice. The model promotes early identification, timely intervention and improved outcomes for children and young people with additional needs.

As a locality lead within a tiered service model, you will drive early identification, inclusive practice and workforce capability. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will shape whole-school approaches, provide consultation and coaching, and embed evidence-based OT strategies across educational environments.

You will coach and model OT strategies in context, deliver targeted interventions, support staff training and respond flexibly to emerging locality needs. In addition, you will maintain a small targeted-plus and specialist caseload, providing assessment, intervention and collaborative problem-solving for children with complex occupational performance needs.

Interviews expected week commencing 16 November 2026.
