POST DETAILS

Title:
Occupational Therapist - Senior Grade
Description:
NCSE Therapy Service
NCSE therapists work to deliver a multi-tiered model of SLT and OT in partnership with primary, post-primary and special school teachers.
The aim of NCSE Therapy is to build the school and/or teachers’ capacity to meet the inclusion needs of all students across the multi-tiered, continuum of support. This includes but is not limited to:
• Collaboration with schools and teachers to develop and deliver multi-tiered, educationally focused supports, strategies and interventions promoting the participation and inclusion of all students in the curriculum and school life, in line with the continuum of support.
• Development and delivery of teacher professional learning (TPL) and ongoing in-school support to promote student learning and participation, using evidence informed frameworks.
• Identification and implementation of evidenced-informed programmes and interventions that are educationally-focused. Where appropriate this includes coaching, modelling, co-facilitation and reflection with some school staff on evidence informed programmes and interventions.
• The development of resource materials for teachers and students, in collaboration with both NCSE staff and school staff.
• Engagement with university therapy programmes and student placement opportunities.
• Ongoing data collection for research and evaluation of therapy in schools.

It is important to note that the work of NCSE SLT and OTs in education is complementary to existing or proposed HSE and HSE funded therapy services, it is not a replacement or an alternative to these services.

NCSE are currently recruiting for the following Occupational Therapist Senior Grade roles within the therapy service delivery model:
• NCSE Regional Therapy Role: Therapists implementing an evidence informed, teacher professional learning pathway of support to teachers in schools.
• NCSE Sustained In-school Therapy Role: Therapists implementing evidence informed, sustained in-school support to a set workload of schools over a defined period of time.

The closing date for receipt of application is 3pm Thursday 30th January 2025
