Are you looking for a paediatric Occupational Therapy role where development, support and work-life balance are genuinely prioritised?
Join an established paediatric Occupational Therapy provider supporting children and families across NSW.
Their Central Coast clinic, right next to the beach, has served the community for more than 30 years and offers a highly equipped, playful environment designed around children's sensory, motor and functional needs.
This position is suitable for an experienced paediatric OT, an early-career clinician or an Occupational Therapist looking to transition into paediatrics.
Rather than being handed a full caseload immediately, you will commence with approximately ***** families per week and gradually build over four to six months.

Your responsibilities will include:
Completing paediatric assessments and therapy sessions
Developing meaningful goals alongside children and families
Delivering play-based, developmental and relationship-focused therapy
Supporting parents and caregivers with practical strategies
Collaborating with schools, families and other health professionals
Maintaining accurate clinical notes and reports
Participating in supervision, mentoring and professional development
