Your Role:

You'll lead 5-6 Occupational Therapists within a wider multidisciplinary team of approximately 25 healthcare professionals, combining clinical supervision, mentoring and team development with a reduced clinical caseload.

This opportunity is ideal for an experienced Senior OT ready to move into a formal leadership position.

Working closely with the Allied Health Manager, you'll:

• Lead, supervise and mentor junior and early-career Occupational Therapists.
• Provide clinical supervision, case reviews and professional development planning.
• Oversee caseload allocation, workload management and clinical performance.
• Review clinical reports, including Functional Capacity Assessments and assistive technology recommendations.
• Support recruitment, onboarding, clinical governance and service improvements.
• Maintain a reduced clinical caseload, delivering evidence-based OT services.

As the team grows beyond 7 OTs, clinical targets can reduce to approximately 10 billable hours per week, allowing more dedicated leadership time.

About You:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Occupational Therapy and current AHPRA registration.
• Minimum 4 years' full-time clinical OT experience.
• Strong paediatric clinical experience, with the confidence to support clinicians managing paediatric caseloads.
• Experience supervising, mentoring or providing clinical guidance to other OTs.
• Strong understanding of the NDIS, clinical reporting and evidence-based practice.
• Excellent communication, clinical reasoning and organisational skills.

Previous Team Leader experience is highly regarded but not essential.

If you're a Senior OT already supporting junior clinicians and looking to step into formal leadership, we'd love to hear from you!
