We are seeking a person, with a behavioural background and experience with autism, to work as an SEN nanny for a family in Dubai. The boy is 4 years old and is showing sign of autism.

He has a team in place including; OT, speech and language, and behavioural support. It is key that the candidate is willing to work with allof the team to result in the best outcomes.

The role will involve getting the boy ready for school (8am start – leaving house at 7.15am) and then dropping him off. The school day is your time off and a bit of time to plan what you are doing for the day before the afternoon sessions of play-based therapy, bath, dinner, getting ready for bed.
