As Troppo continues to grow, we're looking for another Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join our team!

Paediatric Occupational Therapist | Fitzroy North

Start date: ASAP (flexible for the right candidate)

About Us

Troppo Paediatrics is a small paediatric OT practice based in Fitzroy North. We work with children and their families both in our clinic and out in the community, including homes, schools, and kinders. Our clinic space is shared with psychologists and speech pathologists, which means there are regular opportunities for informal consultation and support from other allied health professionals.

Being a small practice means caseloads stay manageable and you get real, hands-on mentorship. Our clinic is well stocked with toys, resources, and printing and laminating facilities. We also have an Allied Health Assistant who supports the team with admin and resource creation.

We operate on a hybrid model, so you can work from home, the clinic, or out in the community depending on what suits your week and your clients' needs.

The Role

We're looking for a Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join our team full-time (part-time may be considered for the right candidate). This role includes clinic-based sessions at our Fitzroy North location as well as community visits to clients' homes, schools, and childcare/kinder settings.

Start date: ASAP (flexible for the right candidate)

Salary: $85,000 - $100,000 + superannuation (negotiable based on experience)

This role suits OTs with around 2 years of paediatric experience or more, with salary negotiated to reflect your experience level.

What You'll Be Doing

- Providing occupational therapy services to children, supporting their participation in home, school, and community environments
- Mix of clinic-based sessions and community-based sessions (schools, childcare centres, kindergartens, homes)
- Completing assessments and writing reports
- Collaborating with families, educators, and other allied health professionals




- Contributing to a supportive team environment
- Attending career development and training to build on your clinical skills
- Depending on your experience, your role may include supervising junior OTs, mentoring students, and taking on leadership responsibilities - either from the outset or as you grow into the role
