About the Role

Inside Out is looking for a qualified Occupational Therapist to join our fun-loving and supportive team in Burpengary. In order to meet the needs of our families, who cannot always attend appointments during the day,



we are specifically searching for someone interested in working Saturdays as well as after-hours (e.g., until 7:30 p.m.) 2-3 days per week. The role could be a full-time or part time, depending on your preference.

In this role, you will:

- Support a caseload of clients (no more than six clients per day, four days per week), through weekly or fortnightly appointments offering play-based, relationship-focused and neurodiverse affirming approaches to build the child's capacity for self regulation, independence in daily routines, having authentic and meaningful relationships with others, participation in learning occupations and develop a positive and genuine sense of self
- Support little people to develop their capacity for improved emotional, attentional and sensory regulation
- Engage your little clients in a play-space rather than sitting at a desk in a small clinic room
- Collaborate with a passionate, multi-disciplinary team including speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, counsellors and allied health assistants
- Use a range of standardised, informal and observational assessments to gather information, and develop meaningful and effective therapy plans
- Work closely with families on their therapy journey
- Liaise with external stakeholders to ensure what you do in the clinic can be utilised in the child's everyday contexts

This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys working with children - you won't write endless reports you will be focused on therapy!

What We Offer

- A values-based organisation (founded, owned and run by an occupational therapist) which places our clients and their care at the centre of all that we do
- State of the art facilities with endless resources: you will have your own therapy room with swings,



rock walls and motivating games and equipment to ensure you are never stifled for creative games and ideas. Our little people LOVE coming to their sessions and they will love sessions with you
- Flexibility with your caseload and the opportunity to work from home and have a 9 day fortnight
- 2 hours of non clinical time per day, 4 days per week (5th day is working from home or an RDO)
- Low KPIs and bonuses available if you bill over these
- Strong focus on Professional Development particularly around trauma, regulation, play-based and relationship based therapy - Professional Development budget of $2000 (minimum) for each team member.
- Fortnightly in-service with our talented multidisciplinary team
- Continuous shadowing opportunities, working alongside other clinicians, lots of time to debrief and reflect so you have both the time and opportunities to continue to develop and grow as a therapist
- Fortnightly Supervision
- Incredible admin support so you can just focus on delivering amazing service to your little people
- Work with our therapy dogs
- Our team loves coffee dates
- Above award wages, with a focus on rewarding you for your consistency, efficiency and effectiveness in your role
