Job Description
Are you an Adelaide-based Occupational Therapist looking for something different from the traditional Monday-to-Friday clinic role?
n
An established and growing allied health provider is seeking an Occupational Therapist to join its regional service through a flexible Drive-In Drive-Out (DIDO) model from Adelaide to the Mount Gambier region.
n
You'll travel regionally on a fortnightly rotation, concentrating your face-to-face client work into your onsite week before returning home, with flexibility to complete reporting and other responsibilities remotely.
n
Your accommodation, regional travel and access to a vehicle while onsite are supported, allowing you to work regionally without having to permanently relocate.
n
The Role
n
You'll join a multidisciplinary allied health team providing community-based Occupational Therapy services to an established NDIS caseload. The caseload includes a strong paediatric component alongside adult participants, with exposure to both straightforward and more complex presentations.
n
Depending on your experience and clinical interests, your responsibilities may include:
n
n
Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs)
n
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assessments

Paediatric Occupational Therapy

Assistive technology and equipment prescription
n
Home and environmental assessments
n
Home modification recommendations
n
Capacity-building interventions
n
Community-based assessments
n
NDIS documentation and report writing
n
Working closely with participants, families, carers and other health professionals
n
n
There is flexibility to structure your caseload around your clinical strengths and areas of interest.
n
A Different Way to Structure Your Fortnight
n
This role offers a genuinely different working model for Occupational Therapists who value autonomy and flexibility.
n
You'll drive from Adelaide to the Mount Gambier region once per fortnight and complete the majority of your face-to-face appointments while onsite.
n




Rather than being locked into a traditional Monday-to-Friday structure, clinicians have flexibility around how they manage their hours across the fortnight.
n
Some clinicians prefer to maximise their client-facing hours while onsite, while others balance their onsite appointments with reporting and documentation completed remotely once they return home.
n
You'll be trusted to manage your own diary while meeting agreed clinical and productivity expectations.
n
What's On Offer?
n
n
$110,000–$120,000 + super, depending on experience and progression
n
Fortnightly DIDO model from Adelaide
n
Regional travel expenses covered
n
Accommodation provided during your onsite rotation
n
Access to a vehicle while onsite
n
Work-from-home flexibility between rotations
n
High level of autonomy over your diary
n
Established NDIS caseload
n
Mix of paediatric and adult participants
n
Exposure to complex and non-complex presentations
n
Multidisciplinary allied health workplace
n
Supportive and growing organisation
n
Opportunity for ongoing salary progression
n
Streamlined interview process
n
n
About You To be considered, you will have:
n
n
A recognised qualification in Occupational Therapy
n
Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
n
Current driver's licence
n
Strong communication and report-writing skills
n
Confidence managing your own diary and caseload
n
Ability and willingness to travel between Adelaide and the Mount Gambier region on a fortnightly basis
n
n
Previous experience within NDIS, community, paediatrics, assistive technology, functional assessments or home modifications would be advantageous; however, we're open to speaking with Occupational Therapists from a variety of clinical backgrounds.
n
Interested in a Different Way of Working?
n
If you're an Adelaide-based Occupational Therapist who likes the idea of concentrated regional work, strong remuneration and greater flexibility when you're back home, this could be an excellent alternative to a traditional clinic-based position.
