KT Healthcare is a family-owned private healthcare company specialising in Neurodevelopmental, Brain Injury and Therapeutic Services. We are committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred support that enables children and young people to thrive.

You'll be confident undertaking assessments, delivering evidence-based interventions and contributing to EHCP provision. You will have experience supporting children to develop functional, sensory, motor and self-regulation skills to enable them to access education and achieve meaningful outcomes. Flexibility to travel throughout West Sussex is essential.
