Occupational Therapist - New Graduate program

About the role
Open to New Grads or close to completion! This opportunity is available as part of our 2026 mid-year or January 2027 New Graduate Program, supporting your transition from student to confident, capable clinician. As an Occupational Therapist at our practice, you will support children, adolescents, and adults, gaining experience and skills across different areas, with the flexibility to follow your interests, while being supported through a structured and well-supported early career pathway. You will work across a mix of environments, including our South West clinic, local schools, and community settings.
Your role will include:

- Delivering both individual and group therapy
- Working collaboratively with families, educators, and other professionals
- Developing and implementing individualised, functional therapy plans
- Contributing to a transdisciplinary team approach
- Participating in regular supervision, mentoring, and structured new graduate learning opportunities
- You will be supported through a structured new graduate program, including regular supervision, mentoring, and protected learning time to support your clinical development.

We structure caseloads and schedules intentionally, including location-based planning, to reduce travel demands and support a sustainable pace of work as you build your confidence. There is flexibility to shape your caseload over time and explore areas of clinical interest, with support to grow your skills in a gradual and supported way.

For students nearing completion of their degree, there is the opportunity to commence a position with us earlier. This allows you to:

- Build confidence in a supported environment prior to graduation
- Learn team systems, processes, and ways of working
- Begin developing clinical reasoning alongside experienced clinicians




- You would then transition into the New Graduate Program upon completion of your degree.
