Mentorship Programme 2024
Experienced OTs or New Grads are welcome to apply.
Why work at Making Sense OT?
Our dedicated team of OTs provides personalised care and support for children of all ages.
The goal of the successful applicant will be to help each child reach their full potential and lead a happy, fulfilling life. You will also continue to develop your clinical skills and be an exceptional OT.
We understand that every child is unique. You will conduct comprehensive assessments using the latest standardised tools. You will be able to establish a baseline of how the child functions across all areas of daily occupation so that you can track the outcomes of your input.
We make therapy fun! You will use play to help children develop essential motor skills, sensory awareness and, processing skills and cognitive abilities.
You will work in childcare centres, preschools, and schools to ensure the child’s success in the classroom and playground, helping them to overcome challenges and build confidence in their abilities. You will become part of the child’s support team at school, working with teachers and support staff to assist them in carrying on the therapy in between sessions.
You will support children to learn emotional regulation, fostering emotional well-being, resilience, and self-esteem.
At MSOT, we believe that family involvement is crucial. You will educate and empower parents to support their child’s progress at home.
