Casual Receptionist / Administration Assistant

Little TheraPeas is looking for a warm, highly organised and proactive Receptionist / Administration Assistant to join our growing team at our Little Mountain clinic.

This role would suit someone with previous allied health administration experience who understands that great administration is about much more than answering phones. You will be an important point of contact for our families, support our therapists behind the scenes, and help keep the day-to-day operations of a busy allied health practice running smoothly.

We are looking for someone who can confidently take ownership of their responsibilities, manage competing priorities and notice what needs to be done without always needing to be asked.

About Little TheraPeas

Little TheraPeas is an occupational therapy and speech pathology practice supporting children, adolescents, adults and families across the Sunshine Coast.

Our team is known for providing family-centred, ethical, evidence-informed and individualised services, with a strong focus on genuine relationships and meaningful outcomes.

Alongside our clinical services, we provide professional development for therapists across Australia and host the Paediatric Occupational Therapy Conference Australia (POTCA). This means the administration role offers plenty of variety beyond traditional clinic reception.

Specific days and hours will be confirmed closer to commencement and may vary from time to time based on business needs. There may also be opportunities for additional hours or alternative shifts as required.

As one of the first points of contact for our families, you will play an important role in making people feel welcomed,



supported and confident in their interactions with Little TheraPeas. You will also work closely with our Practice Manager, Director and clinical team to keep our systems, schedules and administrative processes running effectively.
