Mental Health Kids Hub is dedicated to supporting children 0-12 years, experiencing mental health, emotional, behavioural, developmental, and wellbeing challenges. The service works collaboratively with children, families, schools, and community partners to provide early intervention, therapeutic supports, and family-centred care in a safe and inclusive environment.
About The Opportunity
At the Kids Hub, you will be part of a passionate, multidisciplinary team united by one goal, giving children the very best start in life. In this role, you will have the opportunity to shape meaningful care pathways by delivering tailored care plans, holistic assessments, and evidence-based treatment that address the unique needs of each child.

Together, you will help create strong foundations that set children and families up for long-term success, resilience, and thriving futures. This is more than just a role, it’s a chance to make a lasting difference at a crucial stage in a child’s development, working within a supportive, forward-thinking team that values innovation, compassion, and collaboration.
In this role, you will plan, coordinate, and deliver high-quality, evidence-informed occupational therapy services to children, families, and carers to support optimal mental health, wellbeing, participation, and functional outcomes. You will provide occupational therapy assessment, intervention, and review for a paediatric outpatient caseload, deliver developmentally appropriate and family-centred interventions addressing emotional regulation, sensory processing, social participation, executive functioning, and daily living skills, undertake comprehensive assessments and contribute to multidisciplinary care planning and risk management processes, maintain accurate clinical documentation, reports, and records in accordance with organisational, professional, and legislative requirements and participate in case conferencing, service coordination, discharge planning, and referral pathways to ensure continuity of care and supervise Level 1/2 Occupational Therapists, Allied Health Assistants and students as required, and actively engage in education/training and continuous improvement initiatives.
