This isn't your typical OT role. And that's intentional.
n
This isn't your typical OT job.

n

n
Someone who wants to:
n
n
- feel supported
n
- ask questions safely
n
- be part of a genuinely collaborative OT team

- and enjoy coming to work

At Forbes Care, you won't be left figuring things out alone.
n
Our offices are full of OTs across different experience levels, sharing ideas, debriefing tough sessions, celebrating wins, and helping each other grow. We care deeply about creating a workplace where people can bring their personality, interests and authentic selves into the work they do.
n
Your caseload is designed to be the "just right challenge" with:
n
n
- Structured onboarding + shadowing
n
- Real supervision and mentoring
n
- Safety screening and clinical support that actually matters
n
- A team that backs you professionally and personally
n
n
Our Neuro-Affirming Approach
n
At Forbes Care, neuro-affirming practice means:
n
n
- Respecting neurodivergent individuals, their communication styles, sensory needs and ways of engaging with the world
n
- Focusing on understanding, regulation, participation and functional capacity
n
- Collaborating with participants and families to create goals that are meaningful to them
n
- Supporting autonomy, safety and authentic self-expression
n
- Not aiming to suppress, normalise or mask autistic traits
n
n
We value reflective practice and understand that being neuro-affirming is an ongoing commitment to learning, listening and adapting.
n
Who Thrives Here
n
You'll likely do well here if you are:
n
n
- Reflective and open to feedback
n
- Curious and growth-minded
n
- Team-oriented rather than competitive
n
- Accountable for your own development
n
- Passionate about community-based OT
n

n
n
- Adult therapy
n

What Our Team Values
n
n
