Senior Paediatric Occupational Therapist

A senior role where your clinical expertise is valued and your impact continues to grow

At Eli’s Place, we’ve built a clinic where experienced clinicians can deepen their expertise, contribute meaningfully to a team, and play a role in shaping the future of paediatric care.

We are a growing paediatric private practice supporting children aged 2–18 years with a range of developmental, behavioural, and neurological needs. Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming, family-focused, and grounded in meaningful outcomes.

This role is designed for an experienced Occupational Therapist who is ready to take the next step in their career by expanding their clinical influence, contributing to team development, and continuing to evolve as a clinician.

Why Eli’s Place is Different

We’ve created an environment where experienced clinicians can focus on high-quality work, while continuing to grow professionally.

- A genuine 4-day work week that supports focus and consistency

- A cooperative team environment that values shared learning and reflection

- Leadership that understands paediatric practice and supports clinical autonomy

- A clinic model that prioritises meaningful outcomes for children and families

- Opportunities to shape clinical direction and contribute to service development
