Casual Occupational Therapist (OT) – Neurodiversity Affirming
Join a team that embraces diversity and empowers people to live their best possible lives!

About Us
Embrace Diversity was founded by a dedicated family who, motivated by the experiences of their AuDHD daughter, sought to create a supportive and inclusive environment where mental health and well-being are prioritised. Recognising the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in the workplace, they established the company to advocate for a positive work environment that fosters safety, acceptance, and support for neurodivergent health professionals. With a deep commitment to creating lasting change, Embrace Diversity is focused on not only ensuring that neurodivergent individuals thrive at work but also making a meaningful impact on the broader community, empowering individuals to reach their full potential in an understanding and nurturing setting. As part of our commitment to inclusivity, we are seeking a Casual Occupational Therapist with lived experience in neurodiversity to join our growing team.

The Role
We are looking for an OT who understands the neurodivergent experience from both a professional and personal perspective. You will work with individuals of all ages, providing supports that are affirming, individualised, and strengths focused. Your lived experience will help create a safe, understanding, and supportive environment for our clients.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide occupational therapy assessments as part of a multidisciplinary team (Identification/Diagnostic Assessments / Functional Assessments).
  • Provide strategic support to neurodivergent individuals, and support staff, in schools and workplace.
  • Provide training and support to the community regarding supporting autistic and other neurodivergent people.
  • Use a neurodiversity-affirming approach that respects and values each individual’s way of thinking and being.
  • Collaborate with clients, families, and support networks to develop practical and meaningful strategies, for home, school/work, or community.
  • Work flexibly from Western Sydney or via telehealth services, remotely.
  • Contribute to a workplace culture that prioritises respect, inclusion, and empowerment.

What We’re Looking For

  • AHPRA registered Occupational Therapist.
  • Lived experience with neurodiversity.
  • Strong understanding of neurodiversity-affirming practices.
  • Ability to work independently and flexibly.
  • Ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
  • NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to obtain).
  • Current driver's licence and access to a vehicle preferred.

Why Join Us?

  • Flexible work arrangements (Western Sydney or remote available)
  • Supportive, values-driven team.
  • Competitive hourly rates.
  • Opportunities for professional development in neurodiversity-affirming practice.

If you're an OT with a passion for neurodiversity-affirming care and lived experience that enhances your practice, we’d love to hear from you!
