Cullen & Co is a small, growing occupational therapy practice based in Newcastle. We work predominantly with people with disabilities and psychosocial disabilities through the NDIS, with a strong focus on mental health, functional capacity, independence and meaningful participation.

We’re looking for a full-time Occupational Therapist to join our team.

And honestly, we’re more interested in who you are and how you think than whether you have every skill already.

What we’re looking for

You might be an experienced OT looking for a team where you can actually enjoy coming to work.

Or you might be a new graduate who is keen to learn, ask questions and throw yourself into the world of OT.

Either way, we’re looking for someone who:

- genuinely cares about their clients and wants to make a difference

- has an interest in mental health and/or disability

- is curious and willing to learn

- takes initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do

- is comfortable asking questions when they don't know something

- can think outside the box and problem solve

- wants to develop their clinical skills and confidence

- is happy to have a laugh and contribute to a team

- can have a bit of banter, while still knowing when the work gets responsible

- values good clinical practice and doing things properly

- wants to work somewhere they can actually have a voice

What you'll be doing

Your days won't all look the same.

You might be completing a Functional Capacity Assessment one day, working alongside a client to build their independence the next, problem-solving an environmental barrier, prescribing equipment,



developing practical strategies for daily living or supporting someone experiencing significant mental health challenges.

We don't expect you to know everything.

We do expect you to be willing to learn.

What you can expect from us

We’re a small team, which means you won’t disappear into a giant organisation where you’re just another number.

You’ll have:

- genuine clinical support and supervision

- opportunities to learn from experienced clinicians

- exposure to a broad range of clients and clinical presentations

- support to develop your areas of interest

- a team that actually talks to each other

- a workplace where asking for help is encouraged

- plenty of laughs

- autonomy and trust to manage your own clinical work

- opportunities to contribute ideas and improve how we do things

- early knock off on Fridays

We’re big believers that being a good clinician doesn't mean knowing everything.

It means being curious, reflective, willing to learn and genuinely invested in your clients.

New graduates — please apply

If you're a recent graduate and reading this thinking “I don't know if I'm experienced enough” — please don't count yourself out.

We’re happy to support the right person to develop their clinical skills and confidence.

We’d much rather have someone who asks, “How can I do this better?” than someone who thinks they already know everything.

If you’re looking for a workplace where you can do meaningful work, keep learning, have some fun and be part of a genuinely supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.
