You'll work closely with a dedicated SEN nanny (also a qualified Speech Therapist) and liaise with visiting UK specialists to help him thrive.

This is an exciting opportunity for an OT with strong sensory integration expertise to make a real difference in a child's daily life, within a collaborative and supportive household..

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct detailed assessments to identify sensory processing needs, fine and gross motor skills, and functional abilities.
• Develop and deliver engaging, play-based therapy programmes that promote sensory regulation, attention, and participation in everyday routines.

• Collaborate daily with the SEN nanny/speech therapist to integrate therapy goals seamlessly into the child's routines and play.
• Monitor progress, adjust programmes as needed, and provide guidance to parents and caregivers for ongoing development at home.

About the ChildThe little boy is gentle, affectionate, and loves swimming, running, playing, and exploring the park. His main challenges are in communication and sensory processing, so an OT who is patient, creative, and skilled at engaging young children will thrive in this role.
