If the trial is a success, we’ll be rolling the 4DWW out across the Group – so there’s never been a more exciting time to join #teamOFG!
Location: Burgess Hill, West Sussex

Our onsite Occupational Therapist will assist you in developing individualised plans for each pupil, ensuring progress towards physical health and independence.
At Hambrook School you will have the freedom and support to significantly impact the physical development of our students in line with the school ethos: Be Safe. Engage. Have Fun.
