Clinical Lead Occupational Therapist (Senior OT) | Canberra
Canberra ACT
$115,000 + Bonus + Perks
Leadership pathway | Reduced caseload | Structured support
Step Into Leadership — Without Leaving Clinical Practice
You're already the one people go to.
You support junior clinicians.
You manage a caseload fairly independently.
You're ready for more...
But you haven't been given a
explicit pathway into leadership
.
At ELEV8, we change that.
This is a
structured Clinical Lead pathway
, designed to take you from Senior OT → Leader with real support, not guesswork.
Work Model That Actually Works
This role offers a
blended model across:
Clinic-based sessions
(Belconnen location)
Work from home
(admin, reports, telehealth)
Community visits
(functional, real-world therapy)
Giving you variety, flexibility and more control over your week
Why This Role Stands Out
Clear progression into Clinical Lead
Reduced caseload (~5 billable hours/day)
Structured supervision + leadership coaching
Quality-focused KPIs (not just billables)
Strong local Canberra team + support
What You'll Get
From $115K + quarterly bonus
4 additional paid wellness days
$1,000 PD allowance + paid PD leave
Leadership mentoring + supervision
Flexible hybrid work (clinic + WFH + community)
Pet leave + wellbeing initiatives
Recognition + performance incentives
About the Role
This is a
hybrid clinical + leadership role
, where you will:
Support and guide a small team of clinicians
Provide supervision and mentoring
Assist with complex cases and clinical reasoning
Review reports and contribute to quality improvement
You'll maintain a
reduced caseload
so you can stay clinically engaged while building leadership capability.
Your Career Pathway
You'll progressively step into:
Clinical Lead responsibilities
Structured supervision of clinicians
Quality & compliance oversight
Team development and performance support
This is a
genuine leadership pathway
, not just a title.
