We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate individual to join our team as an experienced Occupational Therapist!

Speak and Succeed is a quickly growing paediatric therapy clinic in Caringbah. We offer Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy services to children aged 0-18 years in one-on-one and small group settings. We provide most of our services in our Caringbah clinic, alongside some services in local schools and preschools.

Our team currently consists of five Speech Pathologists, two Occupational Therapists and two therapy assistants who provide one-on-one and small group intervention to clients. Our team is supported by a full-time receptionist who handles all scheduling and billing matters. We are BIG on prioritising our employees, including having a manageable caseload, an abundance of resources available and generous salary with achievable bonuses!

What you can expect from us:

• A fun and dynamic work environment! You will be working with a range of clients with your specialised skills as an experienced OT and work collaboratively with the team to solve problems in creative ways.
• Resources! Our purpose-built clinic includes three sensory rooms fitted out with swings, trampolines, crash mats and many other resources to help you provide the best possible services to your clients. We provide you with a designated company laptop (MacBook Air) as well as access to clinic iPads, online resource-hubs, a fully stocked resource room, assessment kits and our share drive full of soft-copy resources. We pride ourselves on having an abundance of resources for our clinicians so you don’t have to bring a thing!
• Regular team meetings and peer supervision with PD opportunities to expand your skills as an allied health professional.
• Our kitchen is filled with your favourite coffee, tea and snacks for you to enjoy throughout the day, because we know how important staying full and caffeinated is!
• Flexibility to suit your schedule! We understand life’s commitments and the need to have flexibility with your work schedule. This permanent position part-time with the opportunity to grow into a full-time role if desired.
• An achievable work-life balance! While we expect you to work efficiently during your work days, we don’t want you to be taking work home with you after hours. We factor in plenty of admin time, so you are able to prep for your sessions and complete any other indirect client work within the work day. Our clinic is only open Monday to Friday, so your weekends are always free with a bonus 12pm finish each Friday!
• A generous annual professional development allowance and paid PD leave for you to continue expanding your skills in your areas of interest.
• Regular mentoring as well as internal supervision to support your clinical skills and professional development.
• Opportunities for career progression to develop your leadership and mentoring skills in supporting other clinicians.

About you:

• You will hold a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (or equivalent) and hold current APHRA registration.
• You will have at least one year experience working with paediatric populations.
• You are willing to engage in shared learning experiences to learn and support other clinicians within the practice.
• You need to enjoy working with kids and have a passion to create enjoyable experiences for your clients! Our friendly team is always willing to share inspiration and ideas to help overcome any creative ruts!
• You like working with a fun team of like-minded people who enjoy sharing ideas, friendly chats and a coffee (or two) throughout the day.
• You have good computer literacy and written communication skills. We utilise digital platforms to store our client data and soft-copy resources, as well as provide telehealth services to some of our clients. We will teach you the ins and outs of our client management system and provide lots of support to get you up and running for any telehealth sessions.

We want you to be a great clinician for the clients you are servicing and a great asset to our team. Understanding and experience with paediatric clients especially in the areas of fine and gross motor, sensory regulation and working with neurodiverse populations is preferred, however not essential if you are willing to learn! Our clinic is easy-going, however we do expect professionalism, punctuality and a strong work ethic amongst our team.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!
