Hand Therapy with Heart, Mentoring & Mangoes

Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist – Early Career or Senior Role

Darwin, Northern Territory | Full-time Relocation support available

Looking for a meaningful career and a lifestyle reset?

Come work with a team who will support you to grow your clinical confidence and chase sunsets, discover waterfalls, and enjoy weekend markets by the sea. We’re Territory Hands — the Northern Territory’s only private clinic dedicated solely to hand and upper limb therapy — and we’re on the lookout for two new team members:

A senior hand therapist (OT or Physio) ready to take on mentoring and leadership

An early-career therapist (OT or Physio) open to learning and ready for a new adventure. You don’t need previous hand therapy experience — just curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to learn. We’ll teach you the rest through our structured Seed training program and ongoing mentoring support.

Why join us?

This isn’t your average private practice job. At Territory Hands, you’ll find:

Diverse caseloads — from trauma to tendinopathy, newborns to 90s

Mentoring that’s real — weekly case support, splinting help, and 1:1 guidance

Opportunities for FIFO outreach — including our remote hand therapy service to Alice Springs

An award-winning team culture — where feedback is welcome and laughter is common

A true Territory lifestyle — tropical mornings, dry season evenings, weekend road trips

Career growth with values — integrity, excellence, team, compassion, and joyful resilience

Support from day one — structured onboarding, admin help, EAP access, and a team who has your back

What’s in it for you?

Full-time role - part time would be considered - let’s chat about what suits you

Excellent pay and conditions

Relocation assistance + grants available for moving to the NT

Study leave, paid regular in house PD days, and funding for external courses

Access to our national training platform and Thrive membership

Real career progression — whether you’re learning the ropes or ready to lead

Darwin is also the gateway to Asia — with direct flights to Singapore, Bali, and beyond. Whether you’re coming for a season or a new chapter, this could be the change you didn’t know you needed.

What next?

We’d love to hear from you if you’re:

An AHPRA registered OT or Physio (new grads welcome!)

Curious, reliable, and open to growing in a supportive environment

A team player who enjoys sharing ideas and collaborating

Looking for more than just a job — ready for connection, challenge, and purpose.

Apply now or get in touch for a Connection Call (08) 8981 6555 — we’re happy to chat if you’re curious.
