Job Description

Occupational Therapist | Paediatrics | Melbourne

/n

If you genuinely enjoy working with children — taking the time to build trust, working closely with families, and seeing long-term progress — this role is built around that kind of work.

/n

We're partnering with a private practice in Melbourne that has developed a strong paediatric service, without losing the personal feel that often disappears as clinics grow.

/n

What Your Work Will Feel Like

/n

/n

- A consistent paediatric caseload — not diluted with unrelated work

/n

- Sessions that allow time for engagement, not just task completion

/n

- Strong parent/carer involvement and collaborative goal setting

/n

- A clinic environment designed with kids (and clinicians) in mind

/n/n

The team

/n

You'll be surrounded by OTs who enjoy paediatrics — people who share ideas, support each other, and understand that this work can be both rewarding and demanding.

/n

There's structure when you need it, but no rigid "this is how you must do things" approach.

/n





What Makes This Role Different

/n

/n

- Caseloads are intentionally paced to avoid burnout

/n

- Admin and systems are set up to support you — not slow you down

/n

- You'll have the flexibility to shape your clinical interests within paediatrics (sensory, developmental, school readiness, etc.)

/n

- A calm, supportive culture that doesn't feel corporate

/n/n

Who This Would Suit

/n

/n

- An OT with a genuine interest in paediatrics

/n

- Someone who values connection with children and families

/n

- Early career OTs with robust paeds placements or experienced clinicians

/n/n

Essentials

/n

/n

- Full AHPRA registration

/n/n

On offer

/n

/n

- Competitive salary + incentives

/n

- Flexible working arrangements

/n

- Ongoing mentoring and professional development

/n

- A team environment where people tend to stay
