Hey, you! 👋👋Yes, you – the one who's been talking about finding a new job for a while, but hasn't yet actually applied for a new role (maybe you're worried about the uncertainty of a new workplace or maybe you've even been burnt before - we get it - change can be scary)!

Are you looking for a flexible role you can shape around your life – not the other way around? Do you like to have fun at work and don’t take yourself too seriously? Are you looking for a role with career progression and the ability to one day lead a team?

We’re on the lookout for a new Occupational Therapist to join us in providing the best evidence based therapy to children in Canberra. We are a fast growing clinic and we’re on the hunt for a fun, energetic and adaptable new friend to join our team!

About Our Clinic 📢

We are on a mission to raise the bar of Paediatric Therapy in Canberra. With the changes coming to the NDIS and the demand for high quality OT only increasing, we are making changes to the way we implement therapy to ensure that all the children we see are getting high quality care that leads to measurable results.

We have seen too many children participate in years of ongoing weekly or fortnightly therapy and have seen too many therapists get burnt out with the same caseload week in, week out. We provide our therapists with a varied caseload (with varied ages and varied diagnoses) to ensure our clinicians are constantly given opportunities to develop their skills.

Most of our appointments are clinic based, although we do some school or home visits from time to time. We've significantly reduced our school visits this year as we've endured too many small/loud/non-optimal therapy spaces that aren’t conducive to reaching a child’s therapy goals.

We are searching for a passionate Occupational Therapist who shares our excitement for clinically reasoned and holistic patient care to take on a diverse case load of children with disability, developmental delay and continence concerns.

Full training and support for the role will be provided. Both Established Ots and new graduate OT’s are encouraged to apply for the role.

🎯 About the Role

This is no cookie-cutter Occupational Therapy job. You’ll work closely with our existing team of Physiotherapists, Allied Health Assistants and our lovely OT, Lara.

You will be:

Assessing infants and children aged 0-7 with developmental delay, disability, continence concerns, fine motor concerns, social and emotional skill delay, sensory processing delays.

Creating treatment plans based on assessment findings and parent goals to best support the child

Liaising with Allied Health Assistants to implement therapy plans to better support children and provide more intense therapy to children to ensure they are progressing.

Working collaboratively with physiotherapists internally, and other external therapists to provide collaborative therapy interventions to best support the child

Developing Groups and Programs and overseeing their success to support more children to develop social and play skills

Attending regular professional development courses, team training and weekly 1:1 mentoring to develop your skillset in whichever area brings you joy! We are very supportive of therapists developing a niche and building their clinical skills in a specific area.

💡 The hours? Flexible.

Work around school drop-offs, study timetables, or other commitments. Whether you’re a parent returning to work or a keen surfer hoping to get to the beach every weekend, we’ll work with you to make it fit. Once you're confident in the role, there’s flexibility to work some hours from home too.

✨ You’ll Love This If You:

Are comfortable communicating with children and families, can navigate upfront and sometimes tricky conversations.

Are adaptable in your approach allowing you to pivot when therapy sessions don’t go to plan

Want a job that values life balance, education and career progression

Are eager to grow your clinical skills and develop a caseload that suits your niche interest areas

Are proactive, reliable, and just… fun to work with

Experience in a similar role is great but not essential — if you’re keen to learn, and good with people, we’ll get back you.

🚀 What’s In It For You?

Total flexibility – around family, study or life

Anything from 25-38 hours per week

We wear activewear to work everyday - comfort, yes please!

We have a coffee break every morning at 9am - we're better people after coffee!

Our team have their lunchbreak scheduled at the same time (none of that work through lunch business)

Leadership pathways and structured professional development – we schedule it in, so it actually happens!

We have scheduled admin time to ensure work stays in work time.

Be part of a supportive, down-to-earth team

Make the role your own and grow with the business
