Occupational Therapist - Paediatric Focus (NDIS and Medicare)

About the role

A large, multidisciplinary allied health provider in Sydney is growing and is looking for an Occupational Therapist. The caseload is mostly paediatric, with some adult clients, and the practice sees NDIS and Medicare clients alongside speech pathology, behaviour therapy, physiotherapy and other allied health services. The role is full time or part time, with a minimum of 3 days a week, and new graduates are welcome.

Key responsibilities

• Work with a mostly paediatric caseload (around 85% children and 15% adults).
• Split time between clinic and community, roughly 60% clinic and 40% community travel, which can shift depending on referrals.
• Deliver OT to NDIS participants and Medicare clients, in clinic and on home visits.
• Complete assessments and reports as part of the caseload.
• Work with speech pathologists, behaviour therapists, physios and other clinicians on shared clients.
• Meet a target of 25 billable hours per week (pro rata for part time).

Required profile

• Ocupational Therapist with current AHPRA registration (or eligible to register); new graduates are welcome.
• Paediatric or NDIS experience is a bonus.
• Available at least 3 days a week.
• Comfortable with a mix of clinic and community work, including travelling to clients.
• Comfortable working to billable hour targets.
• Good communication skills with children, families, carers and adult clients.

What we offer

• Salary of $80k to $100k per annum plus superannuation.
• A quarterly bonus of up to $1,200 (based on full-time hours) for therapists who exceed the 25-hour billable target.
• Flexibility to work full time or part time, with a minimum of 3 days a week.
• A mix of clinic and community work, so no two weeks look exactly alike.
• Opportunities for new graduates as well as experienced therapists.
• A large multidisciplinary team across multiple clinics, with the network still expanding.
• A diverse client base, with multilingual therapists and interpreter support available.
