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 adaptable 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 robust 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
n
- Paediatric Occupational Therapy
n
- 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 environment
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.
