Seeking Wonderful Occupational Therpists 🌻
Location: Australia Wide & Rockhampton
Work Type: Contracting under ACN (genuinely flexible)

Rate: $123 per billable hour

Light Me Up Therapy was created by practitioners for practitioners. We are all about transparency, honesty, and providing you with genuinely flexible and enjoyable work (shocking we know) and providing a work culture that focusses on practitioner wellbeing. Practitioners at Light Me Up Therapy have complete autonomy over their caseload, and where and when they work. We believe work-life balance is integral for positive client outcomes – no one can pour from an empty cup!

We are seeking experienced Occupational Therapists to join us on a contract basis and help us deliver high quality positive behaviour support. Light Me Up Therapy values collaboration, trust, communication, and positive and meaningful relationships. We are SO proud of the practitioners we work with who embody these values.

What’s all this about? (AKA details of this amazing position)

Flexible work, meaning working in your own time from home - yay!

We will facilitate referrals, systems and invoices (leave the boring stuff to us – different strokes for different folks and ours apparently includes chasing up invoices).

Choose to accept or decline any referrals to ensure you can build a caseload that aligns with you.

Genuine focus on fostering a positive client-practitioner relationship, improving quality of life and positive client outcomes in addition to the report writing side of things.

The serious stuff (please only apply if you meet the following criteria)

AHPRA registered Occupational Therapist.

Minimum one year’s experience working with NDIS participants as an OT.

Can commit to minimum 15 or more hours per week once a client caseload has been established.

On the ground experience working with individuals, families and/or children with a disability.

Demonstrated ability to utilise data collection tools, collate information, analyse data and prepare individualised behaviour support plans (we’ll ask about this in the interview).

Commitment to meet the requirements of the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

If you work with us (hooray!) we will require:

NDIS Worker Screen & WWCC

NDIS Worker Orientation Certificate

Current Driver’s Licence

Australian Company Number (ACN) or be open to getting one (we can support you with this)

Have own Public Liability & Indemnity insurance as a practitioner.

Have your own external supervisor and attend regular supervision at your own cost. We can provide a list of supervisors if you do not have one lined up.

Own phone/computer and any other resources required to fulfil the role.

Keep calendar, progress notes, and client files organised.

Please note this is a contract role and practitioners are expected to organise their own tax withholding, Superannuation contributions and HECS (if applicable).

Please apply via Seek and attach a resume and a brief cover letter that covers your OT experience and ideal client groups, and anything else about you that you would like to share!

We are open to expressions of interest from practitioners in other locations around Australia who have their own connections or caseloads, such as Albury-Wodonga, Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Wollongong, Toowoomba, Shepparton, Mildura, Wagga Wagga, Rockhampton, Coffs Harbour, Geraldton, Bunbury, Cairns, and Townsville.
