About the Role

In response to the current SEND crisis in the UK, with a lack of early assessment, diagnosis, and support for children with SEND, we are expanding our inclusion team.

This exciting and varied role will give you the opportunity to use your occupational therapy skills to play a pivotal role in the development of the most popular teaching materials in the world and help meet the needs of thousands of educators and parents across the UK.
