This highly reputable practice in Hampton Park is looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist Team Leader to step into a meaningful leadership role. With a strong focus on supervision, professional development, and a collaborative culture, the clinic offers exceptional personal and professional growth pathways. The environment is designed for team connection and client-centred practice, with a fully-equipped space.

As the OT Team Leader, you will balance a reduced caseload of adult NDIS clients (including those with complex needs and mental health presentations) while supervising a team of Occupational Therapists. You’ll play a key role in mentoring, clinical escalation, quality improvement, and service development, supported by a Head OT and a multidisciplinary team.

About the Role:

  • Dual role: maintain a manageable caseload of adult NDIS clients and lead a team of up to 4 OTs
  • Mix of in-clinic and community with travel limited to within 30 minutes of Hampton Park
  • Participate in clinical meetings, support service development, and oversee best practice
  • Provide mentoring, supervision, and check-ins to junior and early-career clinicians
  • Provide therapy and high-level documentation including NDIS and functional capacity reports
  • Collaborate across disciplines in a values-led, outcome-focused team
  • KPI expectations capped at 60%-70% to allow time for team leadership responsibilities

Why This Role:

  • Salary from $115,000 - $130,000 + superannuation
  • $2000 professional development allowance annually
  • Leadership experience with the opportunity to shape team growth and service quality
  • Ongoing support from a Head OT and highly experienced clinicians
  • Full administration team handling all scheduling, cancellations, and billing
  • Hybrid flexibility: work from home when not visiting clients or attending team events
  • Regular social activities and a positive, engaged workplace culture
  • Fortnightly supervision and access to clinical escalation support
  • Join a wider team of 9+ OTs committed to collaboration and ongoing learning

Key Requirements:

  • Tertiary qualification in Occupational Therapy
  • Full Australian working rights
  • AHPRA registration
  • Drivers license and vehicle
