Are you an experienced paediatric OT ready to step into a clinical leadership role where your expertise is truly valued? RCOT is a dynamic, purpose-built paediatric occupational therapy clinic in Willagee, Perth, and we're looking for a passionate Senior OT to join our growing team.
This is a rare opportunity to combine a fulfilling clinical caseload with genuine leadership influence — mentoring junior therapists, contributing to service development, and helping shape outstanding outcomes for children aged 0–18 and their families.
About RCOT
RCOT is a paediatric OT clinic that takes great pride in both the quality of our clinical work and the culture of our team. We support children and young people with a wide range of presentations including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), Global Developmental Delay, Tourette's, Down Syndrome, neurological differences, gender identity, and mental health. Our approach is holistic, family-centred, and deeply evidence-based.
Beyond individual therapy, we run school holiday group programs in the community — giving our clients meaningful opportunities to socialise, build friendships, and thrive with peers in a safe and comfortable environment.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead comprehensive assessments and apply advanced clinical reasoning across complex paediatric presentations.
- Design and oversee evidence-based, individualised treatment plans that empower children and their support networks.

- Provide clinical mentorship to junior and graduate therapists, actively contributing to their professional growth and confidence.
- Collaborate closely with families, educators, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure cohesive, holistic care.
- Support parent and family education, equipping caregivers with strategies that extend therapy gains into everyday life.
- Contribute to service improvement initiatives and help shape the clinical direction of the team.
- Maintain high-quality documentation and client records in line with AHPRA standards.

- Confident, organised, and able to balance caseload demands with wider team responsibilities.
- A genuine commitment to continued learning and evidence-based practice.
