Paediatric OT | Grow Your Career | Multi-Disciplinary Team

Kids First Children's Services – Brookvale NSW

Not many paediatric OT roles put you alongside child psychologists, speech pathologists and specialist early intervention teachers every single day. This one does.

Whether you're 18 months into your paediatric career and ready to build real depth, or several years in and looking for a team where your experience genuinely shapes how others grow, we'd like to hear from you.

At Kids First Children's Services, we've been supporting children and families on Sydney's Northern Beaches since 2007. We're a busy, well-established clinic in Brookvale, and we're looking for a paediatric OT ready to do genuinely positive work alongside a team that thinks carefully, collaborates freely, and still makes time for a laugh.

Who we're looking for

You don't need to tick every box to be the right person for this role. What matters most is that you bring a genuine commitment to children and families, a curious and collaborative mindset, and the kind of warmth that makes kids feel safe and seen.

You'll be someone who:

- Has 18 months to 6 years' post-graduate paediatric OT experience

- Practises in a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based and relationship-centred way

- Loves being part of a multidisciplinary team and genuinely learns from the people around them

- Communicates clearly and warmly - with children, families, and colleagues alike

- Has a sense of humour and doesn't take themselves too seriously

- Sees themselves as someone who can support and mentor other clinicians as they develop. While a formal leadership position isn't open right now,



we're genuinely invested in nurturing our senior clinicians into that kind of role over time.

What your days will look like

This is a clinic-based role with occasional visits to local preschools and schools.

You'll be supporting children aged 2–15 with motor coordination, sensory processing, emotional regulation, independence and participation challenges. Day to day, you'll be:

- Delivering high-quality, evidence-based therapy to a varied paediatric caseload

- Working closely with families and educators so that the strategies you build together actually carry through into children's lives

- Collaborating with child psychologists, speech pathologists, specialist early intervention teachers and other OTs - every single day

- Documenting clear progress notes, therapy plans and reports

What you'll find here

After 20 years supporting local kids and their families, we still love what we do.

- A genuinely collaborative team of child psychologists, speech pathologists, OTs and specialist early intervention teachers - all under one roof, every day.

- Daily admin time built in - so your work stays at work

- Early Finish Friday - start your weekend at 12 noon every week





- A generous annual PD budget - because continuing to learn and grow is important at every stage of your career

- Quarterly financial bonuses that recognise and reward your consistency and clinical excellence

- Dedicated OT Hubs for your discipline-specific learning, discussion and clinical growth

- Regular mentoring and clinical support from our OT Team Leader

- Fortnightly whole-team case conferences that sharpen your thinking and broaden your perspective

- Purpose-built OT rooms and excellent resources to support your clinical work

- A paid kilometre allowance for local school and preschool visits

- A client care team that handles bookings, invoicing, no-shows and cancellations, so that work never lands on your desk

A note on culture

Our core values are Care, Kindness, Compassion and Making a Contribution. They're not words on a poster. They shape who we invite onto our team, how we support each other, and the way we show up for the children and families we work with.

(We're also enthusiastic consumers of cake, coffee and the occasional team lunch.)

Essential requirements

- Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist

- Current Working with Children Check

- Eligibility to hold a Medicare provider number

- The right to work in Australia

- 18 months to 6 years' post-graduate paediatric OT experience

- The ability to work from our Brookvale clinic and attend occasional local school and preschool visits

Please note: This role is open to clinicians who are currently living and working in Australia only. We are not able to consider offshore applications.
