Those Huge Small Victories
Our clinicians are fulfilled by the idea of affecting even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things.
Get out what you put in
This role is based at Turner Court School.
Opening in Autumn 2026, Turner Court School is an independent, specialist day school providing high-quality education for boys and girls. Based in Bristol, the school will meet the needs of pupils with a diagnosis of autism, and a range of additional needs such as ADHD, speech and language difficulties, Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, and associated behavioural difficulties.
Our clinicians are a crucial part of the most joined‑up model in SEND. Across all of our specialist schools and children’s homes, we provide unrivalled levels of clinical support, both in terms of our expertise and breadth of provision. Our young people present with a complexity of need including developmental trauma, neuro‑developmental conditions and special educational needs.
As part of a multi‑disciplinary clinical team you will be supporting educational and residential colleagues to provide therapeutic living and learning environments and, based on clinical assessment and formulation, offer individualised interventions and engagement to our young people.
Our Occupational Therapists work collaboratively within our schools and children’s homes, ensuring that therapeutic support permeates every aspect of the education, care and support we offer all of our children and young people. You will provide consultation, workshops, training and guidance to the educational and residential teams around our children.
