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 cooperative 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.
Who Thrives Here
You'll likely do well here if you are:
Reflective and open to feedback
Curious and growth-minded
Collaborative rather than competitive
Accountable for your own development
Passionate about community-based OT
