Summary

Job Description

  • $75,000–$115,000 + super
  • Full-time over four days available
  • Join eight paediatric Occupational Therapists
  • Supportive, engaged and collaborative team culture
Sometimes the biggest reason people stay in a job has very little to do with the job description.

It's the people around them.
Join an established paediatric OT service in the Sutherland Shire with a team of eight Occupational Therapists who genuinely enjoy working together.

The team includes a mix of developing and experienced clinicians, and the focus is on creating an environment where people can ask questions, share ideas and enjoy coming to work.

They're looking for another OT who fits into that culture.

The Kind of Person They'll Love: You don't need to have the longest CV.
They're more interested in someone who is:
  • Approachable
  • Collaborative
  • Engaged
  • Happy to contribute ideas
  • Comfortable asking questions
  • Genuinely interested in paediatrics
  • Someone who wants to become part of the team rather than simply turn up, see clients and leave
They're open to different levels of experience, provided the person themselves feels right.

Why You'll Love Working Here
  • Eight OT Teammates: You won't be practising in isolation.
  • Four-Day Full-Time Option: Work your full-time hours Tuesday to Friday and enjoy a three-day weekend.
  • Existing Caseload: Strong referrals and an established reputation mean you're stepping into existing clients.
  • Flexible Role: Shape your clinic/community balance around what works best for you.
  • Protected Admin Time: Dedicated blocks for notes and documentation.
  • Experienced Support: Senior clinicians available for guidance and supervision.
  • Team-Based Environment: Share ideas, cases and resources with clinicians working in the same discipline.
  • Purpose-Built Clinic: Dedicated paediatric gym with appropriate sensory and therapy equipment.
  • Variety When You Want It: Opportunities across schools, daycare, equine, surf, martial arts, gymnastics and groups.
  • Room to Bring Your Personality: The team is open to clinicians creating programs around their own strengths and interests.
Flexibility Without Lip Service If a four-day week works better for you, you can complete full-time hours across Tuesday to Friday, generally between 8:00am–6:00pm.
That provides a regular three-day weekend while maintaining a full-time position.
The caseload is approximately 70% clinic and 30% community, but this can also be adapted.
If you prefer clinic work, say so.
If you enjoy getting into schools and daycare centres, they can incorporate more of that too.
Paediatric OT Without Being Put in a Box: You'll support children from preschool age through to approximately 12 years across a range of developmental and functional needs.
Alongside individual appointments, the organisation offers:
  • School and daycare sessions
  • Equine therapy
  • Surf programs
  • Martial arts
  • Gymnastics
  • Group activities
  • School holiday programs
Participation is based on your interests rather than being compulsory.
Salary & Benefits
  • $75,000–$115,000 + super
  • Permanent full-time role
  • Full-time over four days available
  • Regular three-day weekend
  • Established team of eight paediatric OTs
  • Existing caseload
  • Structured handover
  • Flexible clinic/community split
  • Senior support and supervision
  • Dedicated therapy gym
  • Protected administration time
  • Activity and group programs available
Open to Different Experience Levels: You might be a newer clinician looking for a team where you can comfortably ask questions and develop your paediatric skills.

You might also be an experienced clinician who's simply tired of workplaces where flexibility and culture sound great in the job ad but disappear once you start.
Either way, they're looking for someone who wants to contribute to the team and stay as the service continues to grow.
