Principal Therapist
Are you ready to lead, inspire, and make a lasting impact? At Robert Ogden School, we’re seeking a dynamic Principal Therapist to lead and drive our therapy provision and shape the future of autism practice. Our pupils have a complex profile of need, and this role places you at the heart of embedding therapy into daily classroom life to ensure every child receives the tailored support they deserve. As part of our Senior Leadership Team, you’ll guide a school based dedicated group of therapists, implement the latest evidence-based strategies, and work together with families to strengthen parental engagement and create lifelong change across the family unit.

Autistic people turn to us at key moments or challenging times in their lives, be it getting a diagnosis, going to school or finding work.
We change attitudes by improving public understanding of autism and the difficulties many autistic people face. We also work closely with businesses, local authorities and government to help them provide more autism-friendly spaces, deliver better services and improve laws.

Your qualities:
- Patient, inspiring, caring and sensitive towards the needs of vulnerable people
- Good listeners, able to report and record information accurately
- Team players, able to work independently with little support as required
- Resilient, able to work proactively with challenging behaviour
- Willing and able to provide personal care to individuals
- Individuals who value diversity, health and safety and are committed to safe working practice.
This is a term-time permanent contract with paid school holidays, 35 hours per week, and the pay is £46,148 per annum - £52,809 dependant on relevant experience

Your holiday entitlement is 12 weeks, which must be taken within the existing school holidays for your school. This is to ensure our pupils receive the continuous support they require while at school.
You are not entitled to take holiday during the school term.
We are passionate about supporting autistic people into work, and particularly welcome applications from autistic people. We help autistic people from all backgrounds and strive to represent the same diversity in our staff and volunteers.
