We are looking for an Occupational Therapist for either part-time or full-time hours.

This is not a solo OT job!

You’ll be joining a team of supportive, knowledgeable, innovative and fun occupational therapists, allied health assistants and admin assistants.

Let’s grow together.

Experienced or a couple of years into your career, we have developed awesome pathways and opportunities to support you to continue to learn and grow.

We want someone who’s fun, easy to get on with, and able to laugh while they’re at work.

We want to support you to create a caseload and role that you love. This might be tailoring the client's you see towards your interests and skills, having you support junior staff or lead different teams/ projects. We pride ourselves on creating a workplace that you love, have a great work life balance and keeps you interested.

We are looking for the right fit and if that's you we will fit in with the hours you want, full-time (we work 9 day fortnights) or part time positions available.

If you are a new graduate, we have our New Grad program that you will start with us on which provides outstanding support for your first 12 months of becoming an occupational therapist.

About Excel.

We’re building a service where amazing people (like you) can do remarkable work and help hundreds of young people in the Coffs Harbour community.

We provide exciting and innovative interventions to help people overcome barriers and excel in what’s important to them.

We love to provide ‘outside of the box’ programs for kids aged 0-25 years old, and as a result we've got lots of families waiting to be seen. We are very proud of the impact that we’ve had on the local community, and we hope you can join us!

What’s it like to work at Excel?

• It’s a small team, and we operate as a team. We share knowledge and ideas, and we solve problems together.
• Your employers are on site and they’re supportive and approachable. You won’t have to call up to head office, just have a chat over a cuppa.
• Your employers are actually OTs too. They’ve worked with kids (still do) and they’ve worked with NDIS. So they know what you’re dealing with.
• There’s scheduled monthly professional development on site.
• You have a paid PD allowance, and you’re actually encouraged to use it!
• There’s regular clinical supervision both on site and external.
• There’s experienced therapists on site throughout the week.
• We value staff autonomy and support our amazing staff to do amazing things.
• We keep workloads manageable so staff can do their best work.
• We value great work more than KPI’s. All admin is managed for you, so you don’t even have to think about targets.
• This is a regional area so we have a variety of client presentations, providing an opportunity to grow and develop clinical knowledge and skills.
• Some of our clients have complex needs. Fortunately, we work as a team so we can allocate a fair distribution of complex clients to each therapist’s caseload.

Our location?

If you’re not from Coffs Harbour you should definitely consider it. Many of our staff have moved here in recent years and we love it!

Excel is situated right in the Coffs CBD, close to great coffee and lunch spots and heaps of walking paths. Walks are encouraged during work hours!

There’s plenty of free parking on site or out on the road.
