This established multidisciplinary Allied Health clinic is looking for an Occupational Therapist to join its growing team due to continued client demand in Newcastle. 

The role can initially commence at 3 days per week, allowing you to gradually build your caseload at a comfortable pace. Based on current demand and the existing waitlist, there is capacity to increase to full-time within approximately three months, if that suits you.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Excellent Salary: $90,000–$128,000 + super, depending on experience.
• Gradual Caseload Build: Start at 3 days per week and increase your hours as your caseload develops.
• Strong Existing Demand: There is already enough referral demand to support growth into a full-time position.
• Adult Mental Health Focus: Approximately 90% of the caseload is adults, with a strong mental health component; the remaining 10% is paediatrics
• Mixed Clinic & Community Role: Enjoy variety across clinic-based appointments, home visits, schools and community settings.
• Manageable Assessment Load: Typically around one Functional Capacity Assessment per week, with the remainder of the caseload consisting of ongoing therapy and intervention.
• Established Support: Work alongside another experienced Occupational Therapist, an experienced Allied Health Assistant and a wider multidisciplinary team.
• Strong Administration Support: Dedicated administration staff assist with scheduling and coordination, allowing clinicians to focus on clinical work.
• Flexible Working Structure: One day per week typically spent in clinic, with remaining visits within the community
• Supportive Team Culture: Join a stable team with strong staff retention and clinicians who genuinely support one another.

Approximately 90% of the caseload is adults, with the majority presenting with mental health and broader functional needs. There may be some paediatric referrals from time to time, although this is not the core focus of the role.

You can expect a varied week across clinic appointments, home visits, community work and functional assessments, with approximately one Functional Capacity Assessment per week.

This role would suit an Occupational Therapist who values autonomy, flexibility and a supportive team environment, while still having access to strong client demand and long-term progression into increased hours if desired.
