Sunshine Therapy is growing, and we’re looking for a passionate Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join us as we enter our next chapter. ☀️

We are a small, therapist-led Speech & Language Therapy and Occupational Therapy service based in Dubai, working closely with children, families and schools.

We’re looking for an OT who values autonomy, flexibility and genuinely child-centred practice. Someone who wants the freedom to work in a way that suits them, while still having the support of a team around them.

This role will include a combination of school and clinic-based work, supporting children with a range of developmental needs. You’ll have the opportunity to shape your own caseload, contribute to the development of our OT service and grow alongside Sunshine as we expand.

The role may include:

Providing individualised occupational therapy assessment and intervention
Supporting children across clinic and school settings
Working collaboratively with parents, teachers and other professionals
Developing practical strategies that support participation at home and school
Contributing to multidisciplinary working with SLT and other professionals
Maintaining clear clinical documentation in line with DHA standards
Opportunities to deliver parent/teacher training, workshops and other services according to your interests

We’re looking for someone who:

Holds a recognised qualification in Occupational Therapy
Has DHA eligibility or an active DHA licence
Has experience working with children and young people
Is confident working independently while enjoying collaborative MDT working
Values neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based and family-centred practice
Is warm, proactive and genuinely enjoys building relationships with children, families and schools
Has their own transport and is comfortable travelling to schools within Dubai

Why Sunshine? ☀️

We want Sunshine to be somewhere therapists genuinely enjoy working.

That means flexibility, trust and autonomy without unnecessary pressure or a culture built around squeezing as many sessions as possible into a day.

We’re a growing service, so this is also an opportunity to come in at an exciting stage and have a real voice in how our OT provision develops.

We want our therapists to be able to build a working week that works for their life as well as their career, with opportunities to grow their caseload and earning potential over time.

What we provide:

Flexible working arrangements
Competitive remuneration
Clinic and established school-based opportunities
Therapy resources and materials
Administrative and scheduling support
DHA licensing support
Visa sponsorship where applicable
Medical insurance where applicable
Opportunities for professional development
A supportive, collaborative SLT & OT environment
The opportunity to help shape and grow Sunshine’s OT service

Interested?

We’d love to hear a little about you, your experience and what you’re looking for in your next role.
