Occupational Therapist - Community-Based | Sunshine Coast, Gympie, Brisbane

Forbes Care Occupational Therapy - Buderim QLD

This isn’t your typical OT role. And that’s intentional.

This isn’t your typical OT job.

And honestly? That's the point.

We're looking for a neuro-affirming Occupational Therapist who wants more.

Someone who wants to:

- feel supported
- ask questions safely
- be part of a genuinely collaborative OT team
- and enjoy coming to work

Sunshine Coast | Brisbane | Gympie

At Forbes Care, you won't be left figuring things out alone.

Our offices are full of OTs across different experience levels, sharing ideas, debriefing tough sessions, celebrating wins, and helping each other grow. We care deeply about creating a workplace where people can bring their personality, interests and authentic selves into the work they do.

Your caseload is designed to be the "just right challenge" with:

- Structured onboarding + shadowing
- Real supervision and mentoring
- Safety screening and clinical support that actually matters
- A team that backs you professionally and personally

Our Neuro-Affirming Approach

At Forbes Care, neuro-affirming practice means:

- Respecting neurodivergent individuals, their communication styles, sensory needs and ways of engaging with the world
- Focusing on understanding, regulation, participation and functional capacity




- Collaborating with participants and families to create goals that are meaningful to them
- Supporting autonomy, safety and authentic self-expression
- Not aiming to suppress, normalise or mask autistic traits

We value reflective practice and understand that being neuro-affirming is an ongoing commitment to learning, listening and adapting.

You'll likely do well here if you are:

- Reflective and open to feedback

This probably isn’t the place to coast.

But if you want to become a confident OT in a team that genuinely invests in you, you'll likely love it here.
