Assessment and Community Services Manager - Allied Health

Most allied health roles ask you to step into something that already exists. This one asks you to build it.

Optimum Health Solutions is expanding beyond our clinic walls. We're establishing a dedicated community services arm to reach clients across NSW not currently serviced by our clinic network, and to deliver outreach allied health services to communities across Australia. We need the right Occupational Therapist to lead it.

As Assessment and Community Services Manager, you'll be both practitioner and program architect. You'll carry a caseload, develop the service delivery model, build referral pathways, and coordinate outreach service delivery, all while working directly with our Managing Director to shape the program's direction. Over time, you'll build and lead a team around you.

This role is for an Occupational Therapist with at least five years of post-graduate experience, a strong NDIS background, and the kind of clinical confidence that holds up in complex, unfamiliar environments. You're comfortable working autonomously. You don't need a blueprint. You're motivated by impact over routine.

What you'll be doing





- Establishing Optimum's community services arm from the ground up
- Conducting community-based assessments across areas of NSW not currently covered by our clinic network
- Planning and coordinating outreach services to communities across Australia
- Building relationships with referrers, support coordinators, and community partners
- Recruiting and supervising practitioners as the program grows

What you'll bring

- Tertiary qualification in Occupational Therapy
- Current AHPRA registration
- 5+ years post-graduate experience including community-based delivery
- Demonstrated NDIS experience across diverse funding plans
- Current driver's licence and willingness to travel for outreach work

Why Optimum

We're a multidisciplinary organisation with 15+ clinic locations across NSW and Tasmania and more than 200 staff. We invest in our people through the Allied Health Warrior learning platform, structured career development, and direct access to senior leadership. This role comes with full travel and accommodation covered for all outreach work.

If you're ready to build something that matters, we'd love to hear from you.
