Glasshouse College reflects the history of the Stourbridge glassmaking district. The local traditions of glassblowing, etching and engraving provide a rich stimulus for the college’s signature craft. Our students also attend other craft workshops including green woodwork, blacksmithing and textiles.

Argent College is located in the Standard Works, in the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham. The former jewellery factory has been transformed into a college, the highly commended Hive Café and Bakery, a heritage centre, community spaces and an urban rooftop microfarm. Both are part of Ruskin Mill Trust.

Established in 1984, Ruskin Mill Trust is an educational charity that operates in England, Scotland and Wales. We offer exciting outdoor learning environments, utilising practical land and craft activities to support the development of work and life skills in young people with autistic spectrum conditions and other learning differences.

Working with hand, head, heart and place, Ruskin Mill Trust helps individuals to re-imagine their potential.

We are looking for an Occupational Therapist, ideally with training in sensory Integration, to develop an occupational therapy service embedded within Ruskin Mill’s unique method of Practical Skills Therapeutic Education (PSTE) and Rudolf Steiner’s approach to human development as interventions to meet the students’ sensory and self-regulation needs as identified in their Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

  • To feedback on the suitability of the Practical Skills Therapeutic Education (PSTE) curriculum and how it meet the needs of the students from an occupational therapy perspective, and to suggest suitable activities for each student within this framework.
  • Undertake formal OT assessments through student observation and report submission, liaising with staff/parent/carers, and other key stakeholders as required.
  • To support the creation of resources facilitating sensory and experiential activities within the day and residential provision.

  • To provide specialist advice and support to other colleagues, departments, professionals, and families / carers within the Practical Skills Therapeutic Education method.
  • To contribute to the evaluation and continued development of the Occupational Therapy Service
