What we offer you

At Northern Therapy Solutions, we are passionate about creating a supportive and nurturing environment where our team can grow and flourish. When you join us, you’ll enjoy:

Expert Supervision and Mentoring
Our Senior Occupational Therapist brings over 20 years of experience across both public and private mental health settings. With extensive experience supervising and supporting early-career OTs, they are passionate about providing guidance and mentorship. You’ll have the opportunity to build your clinical skills in complex mental health OT, with regular supervision and support.

Career Development
We believe in investing in your professional growth. Through regular supervision, case conferences, and team discussions, we’ll help you develop the confidence and skills to manage complex clinical cases, with clear pathways to develop your career. A professional development allowance will be provided.

Flexibility and Autonomy
We understand that work-life balance is important. You’ll have the freedom to design your own daily schedule to suit your lifestyle and working preferences - giving you both independence and support. We also recognise that starting a new role, especially in a new country, can feel daunting, so we’re happy to provide more structure and guidance in the early days until you feel confident to work more independently.

A Supportive Team Environment
While you’ll have plenty of autonomy, you’ll never feel like you’re on your own. Our collaborative team is here to support you - whether it’s navigating the Australian health system, learning new processes, or managing complex cases. We’re all in this together, working to provide the best possible care to our participants.

Social and Community Connections
We love making new team members feel at home. From casual team catch-ups to exploring local cafes, you’ll be part of a friendly, welcoming team from day one.
