Join a team that’s passionate about changing the way paediatric OT is done.

At Little TheraPeas, we don’t believe occupational therapy is about ticking boxes or rushing through appointments.

We believe in taking the time to truly understand children and their families, thinking critically about our clinical reasoning, and creating therapy that is meaningful, playful and individualised.

We’re looking for a Paediatric Occupational Therapist who shares those values and wants to grow alongside a supportive, experienced team, with a start date in early October 2026.

Our paediatric team works closely with children, families, educators and other professionals to provide therapy that is practical, individualised and genuinely relevant to everyday life. Our practice is built around neurodiversity-affirming care, evidence-informed practice and genuine relationships.
