This is a leadership and creativity role. We're looking for a Senior Occupational Therapist to co-develop and eventually lead the Occupational Therapy arm of an established, therapist-led paediatric clinic. This is not a "fill-your-diary" role.
De Silva Kids Clinic is a purpose-built multidisciplinary clinic in Mill Park. Speech Pathology and Psychology services are in full swing, and our families would love to receive all of their services under the one roof. So, we're dedicated to building our OT arm. You'd be the person who shapes what that looks like: the service model, the clinical approach, and as the team grows, the people beneath you.
If you've been wanting a role where you can contribute beyond your caseload, and lead with purpose, this is it.
What the role involves
- Paediatric OT assessments and therapy across a variety of presentations - ASD, ADHD, Sensory Processing, GDD and more
- Individual and group sessions, clinic-based with minimal community work
- Working alongside psychologists and speech pathologists in a genuinely collaborative team
- A growing pathway into supervision of junior OTs and clinical leadership as the discipline expands
What we offer
- $110k-$130k inclusive, negotiable based on experience and what you bring to the role
- $1,500 PD budget + dedicated internal PD time each month
- Access to our purpose-built sensory gym and full suite of assessments and resources
- 3 paid Elevate Days per year (team building, no clients)
- Additional paid mental health days on top of standard leave
- Dedicated admin support - you focus on clinical work
- Versatile scheduling (early finish or later start options)
- Fortnightly external supervision available, tailored to your level and goals
What makes us different
- Therapist-owned and led - your leaders understand your work because they do it too
- Realistic caseloads with protected time for planning and reporting
- Strong team culture with lunches, celebrations and genuine connection
- Genuinely invested in our mission to EMPOWER FAMILIES through education, support and excellent allied health services
- Deepy committed to global social impact — our work aligns with global health, education and equality goals
- A clinic that's growing intentionally, not just quickly
Who we're looking for
- Qualified OT with current AHPRA registration
- 3+ years paediatric experience
- Passionate about neurodivergent children and family-centred practice
- Ready to grow beyond a caseload-only role
- Collaborative, curious, and interested in helping shape something
- Current Working with Children Check required.
