About us:

We’re Propel Care — a close-knit, values-led team providing therapy and support services to clients aged 16 and over across NDIS, Aged Care, DVA and private pay. We’re passionate about helping our clients build independence, confidence and connection in their daily lives. We believe in creating a space where both clinicians and clients feel trusted, supported and able to do their best.

We are excited to offer 2 roles as our service continues to grow. You will have the freedom to manage your own schedule with flexibility, support from our admin team to reduce your load, and opportunities to grow in ways that suit your strengths and interests.

Our approach is practical and person-centred, with a strong focus on capacity building and meaningful client outcomes. We are in a stable growth phase and offer the chance to shape your role as we evolve together.

What you'll be doing:

You’ll provide therapy in homes, workplaces, community settings, and via telehealth when needed. We prioritise capacity building, consistency and strong client relationships.

Your work may include:

ADL training and psychosocial support

Functional capacity assessments and reports

SIL/SDA and housing reports

Assistive tech, equipment prescription, and home modifications

Supporting private and DVA clients with tailored plans

Collaborating with families, employers, support workers and coordinators

Mentoring junior team members if you're keen

You’ll manage your own caseload with autonomy, while always having access to support, peer connection and a solid admin team behind you.

Who we are looking for

You’re a people-person with a strong eye for detail. You bring energy, warmth and a can-do attitude to everything you do. You’re someone who doesn’t just wait to be told — you see what needs doing and roll up your sleeves.

What you bring

Minimum 2 years experience as an OT

Confidence in clinical reasoning, documentation and adult-focused therapy

Experience with NDIS, aged care or DVA clients

Strong communication and relationship-building skills

AHPRA registration, driver’s licence and reliable transport

Alignment with our values of care, professionalism and integrity

It's a Bonus (but not essential) if you have:

An interest in shaping systems, resources or service development

A second language or cultural competency that supports inclusive practice

Experience in running group programs
