Join Our Team as an Occupational Therapist – Make a Lasting Impact on Community Health

Make a difference in your community by delivering holistic, person-centred care that supports individuals across all stages of life. Use your skills to empower clients in achieving independence, wellbeing and improved quality of life.

About the Role:

As an Occupational Therapist, you will contribute to a comprehensive and integrated range of health services tailored to community needs. At the AHP1 level, you will work under the supervision of an experienced Occupational Therapist, providing services in areas such as paediatrics, acute care, residential care, aged and community health. At the AHP2 level, you will apply your clinical experience and specialist knowledge to plan, implement and evaluate services with greater independence, while also supporting the supervision of less experienced professionals, assistants and students. In this role, you will work collaboratively as part of a multi-professional team, using preventative, early intervention, therapeutic and evaluative approaches to achieve positive outcomes for clients.

What We’re Looking For:

• Must hold a recognised qualification within the Occupational Therapy profession and be eligible for practicing membership of the relevant Professional Association. For those professions requiring Registration, all requirements to obtain and maintain current registration must be fulfilled. For self-regulated professions it is desirable to participate in the professional association accredited continuing professional development program.
