Exceptional outcomes for children happen when therapists are given the right environment to thrive.
At Pace, we combine strong clinical support, collaborative MDT working and protected time for meaningful intervention—so therapists can do their best work.
We are recruiting a Band 6 Occupational Therapist to join our specialist Children & Families Service, supporting babies, children and young people aged 0–18 with neurodiversity, neurodisability and developmental needs.
This is a varied and rewarding role combining clinic and outpatient work, where you will deliver meaningful intervention that improves independence, participation and everyday function.
What makes Pace different?
At Pace, we know great therapists are often held back by impossible caseloads, long waiting lists and not enough time to do meaningful work.
We have built our service differently—giving therapists the time, support and clinical environment they need to do their best work.
- Short waiting lists, helping children access support when they need it most
- Manageable caseloads with time for meaningful intervention
- Time to focus on therapy, with centralised admin support reducing non-clinical workload
- Highly experienced MDT, with strong Band 7 clinical support
- Protected time for report writing, planning, training and CPD

- Assess needs and deliver evidence-based intervention
- Support families with practical strategies and recommendations
- Work collaboratively within the MDT to support outcomes and service development

We are committed to helping therapists grow and thrive.
We offer:
- Comprehensive induction and structured supervision
- Competency-based development pathways
- Extensive CPD opportunities
- Support for postgraduate study, including Master’s and Doctorate-level qualifications
