Job Description

Sedgemoor Manor is a specialist day school for young people who have needs associated with a diagnosis on the autistic spectrum/SPLD and are aged between 10 and 18 years. Our tailored approach means we are able to support young people with a wide range of learning difficulties. We accept that young people who are referred to us may have previously experienced a 'cycle of failure' and our aim is to have a transformational impact on their lives by them experiencing a 'culture of success'. We support all young people to achieve successful outcomes so that they can progress to experience fulfilling and rewarding lives.

We offer bespoke packages of education and therapy for our young people. We strongly believe that some individuals will always struggle to 'fit in' to existing structures and will only thrive when their provision is tailored to their specific needs and circumstances. We warmly welcome our students into our community, which is underpinned by a culture of outstanding relationships, nurture and unconditional high regard.

The role of the Therapy Assistant is to work within the Therapy Team across all disciplines to support our learners to achieve their outcomes in line with their ECHP. Duties will include:
  • Assisting trained clinicians with the preparation, planning and delivery of group and one-to-one occupational therapeutic and recreational activities
  • Observing recording and reporting to the assigned clinician as appropriate
  • Creating appealing visual resources for sessions
  • Managing a caseload of students
  • planning, running, and recording 1:1 and group therapy sessions across various therapies
  • Assists with the assessment and transition of new learners ensuring they are familiar with the environment
  • Creation of initial supporting documentation such as Individual Placement Plans and Provision Maps
  • Ensures the effective, timely and accurate updating of clinical records, case files and computerised information systems as directed while responding to routine enquiries and standard requests for information in accordance with policies and procedures
  • IT Skills such as word and excel to contribute to surveys, the collection, analysis and presentation of data and information as directed
  • To collate the agenda for and take notes from the weekly therapy meeting

Please note that this advert will close early if a suitable candidate found.

As part of Aspris Children's Services we are immensely proud of the career pathway and training we can offer you. As long as you can demonstrate the values needed for a role, transferable skills and life experience, we will give you all the training and support you need to progress!

The successful candidate will have the following characteristics:

Resilience - We support some of the most vulnerable children in society who have varying degrees of emotional behavioural difficulties, autism, ADHD and associated difficulties so there will be times where your resilience is challenged.
Communication - Communicating with our young people is vital to understand their needs. Good teamwork and communication plays a key part in ensuring important information is relayed to other staff.
Organisation - Strong organisational skills are important to support the class teacher and young people with educational activities
Caring - Our young people require the best care we can offer. If you are a naturally caring and compassionate person, this is the role for you.
Attentive - No two tasks will be the same so being attentive to understand them and identify areas where we can support is important.

Above all, we provide a supportive and collaborative working environment where you can flourish in your career and feel incredibly rewarded by helping those who need it most.

If you want education to be a job for life, Aspris Children's Services will help you get there.
