We’re looking for an experienced paediatric Occupational Therapy to join our team at Only About Kids Occupational Therapy.
The role
We have one full time position available for an experienced Occupational Therapist, based in our Caroline Springs clinic western Melbourne.
What you'll be doing
You'll deliver neuro-affirming, evidence-based OT to children and families, mostly in our clinic, with some community work. Your week will include:
- Individual and group therapy using each child's strengths and interests to drive creative interventions
- Assessments and goal setting in collaboration with families, teachers and other professionals

- Supervision, mentoring and PD to support your clinical growth and career direction
- Managing an individualised caseload designed around your preferences and areas of interest
Features & benefits
- Salary of $80,000 to $90,000 plus superannuation, based on experience - plus performance bonuses (optional, never expected)
- Serious investment in your development - fortnightly individual supervision plus fortnightly group supervision, in-house speakers, an external PD budget for courses you choose and structured mentoring
- Extra annual leave plus birthday leave - because life happens, and birthdays should be celebrated
- Minimal travel, maximum support - mostly clinic-based work (we are opposite a shopping centre, so coffee is sorted), plus a dedicated admin team so you can focus on being an OT
- Choose your caseload - we help you build a caseload that matches your interests and strengths
- Collaborative, open-plan office - place to ask questions, debrief, bounce ideas, and actually enjoy coming to work
- Quarterly team days - clinical training, personal development, team building, and fun (yes, actual fun)
- A well-stocked clinic - our space is full of therapy resources and equipment, so you've always got what you need
