Full-Time | Part-Time | Casual | Chatswood, NSW
At Pouch Therapy
, we are a growing paediatric occupational therapy practice based in Chatswood, supporting children and families across Sydney's Lower North Shore and surrounding areas.
We believe therapy should be warm, practical and genuinely helpful, not only for the child, but for the whole family. Our approach focuses on helping children build the skills and confidence they need to participate more successfully in everyday life at home, at school and in the community.
As our practice continues to grow, we are looking for an
Occupational Therapist currently based in Australia
to join our team. We welcome applications from experienced clinicians and new graduates, with opportunities available across
full time, part-time and casual employment
.
About the Role
You will work with children across a range of developmental and functional areas, including:
Fine motor and handwriting skills
Sensory processing and regulation
Emotional regulation and behaviour
Social interaction and play skills
School readiness and classroom participation
Motor coordination and everyday functional skills
Depending on your experience, interests and availability, your caseload may include:
Clinic-based sessions at our Chatswood practice
School, preschool and childcare visits
Home and community-based therapy
Assessments, intervention planning and report writing
Parent coaching and collaboration with educators and other professionals
We want our therapists spending their time doing what they trained to do: working with children and families.
Pouch has dedicated administrative support
to assist with bookings, scheduling, client enquiries and other day-to-day administrative tasks. This means
less time spent on admin and more time available for therapy, clinical planning and meaningful client work.
About You
We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with children and families and values meaningful, relationship-based therapy.




You will ideally have:
A recognised tertiary qualification in Occupational Therapy
Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist, or eligibility to obtain registration
A genuine interest in paediatrics
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
A warm, flexible and proactive approach
The ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team
A current Working With Children Check and other relevant compliance requirements, or willingness to obtain them
A current driver's licence, highly desirable for school and mobile therapy
New graduates are very welcome to apply.
Starting your career comes with a lot to learn, and we aim to provide the supervision, mentoring and practical support needed to help you build confidence and develop as a paediatric OT.
