Job description:
Occupational Therapist – Western Sydney (In-Clinic & Mobile/Community-Based)
Safe Steps Therapy – Growing Multidisciplinary Allied Health Team
Full Time or Part Time | Base Bonnyrigg | $85,000 – $120,000 + Super + $10,000+ in Bonuses + Company Car Provided + Travel Reimbursement

Grow Your Occupational Therapy Career with Genuine Support
Safe Steps Therapy is a multidisciplinary allied health practice based in Bonnyrigg, delivering Behaviour Support, Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Psychology across Western Sydney. As we grow, we're building a team of clinicians who want real clinical variety, hands-on mentoring, and a genuine say in how the practice develops, not just a seat in an established structure.

About the Role
This role combines the stability of a clinic base with the variety of mobile, community-based practice. You'll work across our Bonnyrigg clinic, clients' homes, schools and early learning centres, with a caseload spanning paediatric and adult presentations funded through NDIS and private referrals. Full-time or part-time available, with flexibility to structure your week around your availability.

Why Join Safe Steps Therapy:
Growth opportunities & Development
A defined pathway toward Team Leader and senior clinical roles as the organisation grows, not a vague promise. You'll help shape what that pathway looks like as one of our early clinicians.

Genuine Mentoring & Supervision
Structured clinical supervision from an experienced team, not a signature on a form. Support is built around your development, whatever stage of your career you're at.

Cooperative Multidisciplinary Team
Work alongside Speech Pathologists, Behaviour Support Practitioners, Physiotherapists and Psychologists on shared clients, with real case collaboration rather than disciplines working in silos.

Diverse Clinical Caseload
Sensory processing, fine and gross motor skills,



self-care and daily living skills, equipment prescription, and both paediatric and adult presentations, across clinic, home, school and community settings.

Meaningful Work, Direct Impact
As a smaller, growing practice, your clinical input and ideas directly shape how services are delivered, not filtered through layers of management.

What's On Offer
Base salary $85,000 – $120,000 + Superannuation, depending on experience, plus bonus opportunities with potential to earn $10,000+
Fully maintained company car provided, yours to use for work and personal life, with no restrictions
Travel reimbursement
$2,000 external professional development budget, plus internal PD and training
Structured mentoring and supervision from an experienced multidisciplinary team
Flexible working arrangements
Admin support to reduce your non-clinical workload
6-month probationary period with the prospect to negotiate salary on successful completion

The Role
Conduct comprehensive occupational therapy assessments across paediatric and adult clients, including functional, sensory and home/environment assessments
Develop and deliver individualised, evidence-based treatment plans
Provide therapy across in-clinic, home, school and early learning centre settings
Collaborate closely with our Speech Pathology, Behaviour Support, Physio and Psychology teams on shared clients
Deliver parent coaching, capacity-building sessions, and educator or support worker training
Prescribe and recommend equipment and home/environment modifications as required




Maintain accurate clinical documentation, including NDIS reporting

Caseload May Include
Sensory processing difficulties, fine and gross motor delays, self-care and daily living skill development, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Progressive Disease, Acquired Neurological Conditions, and equipment and home modification assessment and prescription.

About You
We're looking for an Occupational Therapist who is passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred care and wants to grow within a practice that's still being shaped.

You will have:
Degree in Occupational Therapy, with current or eligible registration with AHPRA
Confidence managing a paediatric and adult caseload, with support as needed (early-career clinicians welcome if highly motivated; experienced clinicians encouraged to apply)
Comfort working across clinic, home, school and community settings
Strong communication, time management and clinical documentation skills
Commitment to evidence-based, family-centred practice and a genuine interest in ongoing learning

Requirements
Current driver's licence and access to a reliable vehicle, essential for the mobile component of this role
Current Working with Children Check (or willingness to obtain)
Current NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to obtain)
Current National Police Check (or willingness to obtain)

Why Now Is the Right Time to Join
Safe Steps Therapy is growing, and this role isn't a fixed slot in an existing structure, it's a genuine opportunity to help build our Occupational Therapy service from the ground up alongside an established multidisciplinary team.
Additional language skills, particularly community languages spoken across Western Sydney, are highly regarded.

Safe Steps Therapy welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences, and is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.
