Paediatric Occupational Therapist
At Slam Dunk Occupational Therapy, we believe therapy should be meaningful, goal-focused and genuinely fun.
We are a growing paediatric practice supporting children and families across the Central Coast.
With families already waiting for support, we are looking for a warm, motivated and personable Occupational Therapist to join our small team.
You will work directly with our co-founder and Head of OT, Izabela, who is certified in Sensory Integration, giving you the opportunity to learn from her expertise in this area.
You'll receive support tailored to your experience and have the opportunity to develop your clinical skills while growing alongside the practice.
Why you will love this role
Four client-facing days: Deliver therapy Monday to Thursday, with only two flexible paid administration hours completed remotely on Friday.
Real access to clinical leadership: Work directly with Izabela, an experienced and approachable Occupational Therapist who is committed to supporting both clinicians and families.
Less non-clinical administration: We manage client intake, bookings, scheduling, invoicing, payments and general practice administration.
Support matched to your experience: Gradual caseload build based on your experience.
Skilled Supervision
$2,000 annual professional development allowance
Salary of $80,000–$110,000 plus superannuation, based on experience
Work laptop, therapy resources and equipment provided
Mobile phone plan covered up to $60 per month
Kilometre reimbursement for approved work-related travel

Support tailored to you
We welcome applications from:
New-graduate Occupational Therapists
