Job Description
Occupational Therapist | Paediatrics | Melbourne
n
If you genuinely enjoy working with children — taking the time to build trust, working closely with families, and seeing long-term progress — this role is built around that kind of work.
n
We're partnering with a private practice in Melbourne that has developed a strong paediatric service, without losing the personal feel that often disappears as clinics grow.
n
What Your Work Will Feel Like
n
n
A consistent paediatric caseload — not diluted with unrelated work
n
Sessions that allow time for engagement, not just task completion
n
Robust parent/carer involvement and collaborative goal setting
n
A clinic environment designed with kids (and clinicians) in mind
n
n
The team
n
You'll be surrounded by OTs who enjoy paediatrics — people who share ideas, support each other, and understand that this work can be both rewarding and demanding.
n
There's structure when you need it, but no rigid "this is how you must do things" approach.




n
What Makes This Role Different
n
n
Caseloads are intentionally paced to avoid burnout
n
Admin and systems are set up to support you — not slow you down
n
You'll have the flexibility to shape your clinical interests within paediatrics (sensory, developmental, school readiness, etc.)
n
A calm, supportive culture that doesn't feel corporate
n
n
Who This Would Suit
n
n
An OT with a genuine interest in paediatrics
n
Someone who values connection with children and families
n
Early career OTs with strong paeds placements or experienced clinicians
n
n
Essentials
n
n
Full AHPRA registration
n
n
On offer
n
n
Competitive salary + incentives
n
Flexible working arrangements
n
Ongoing mentoring and professional development
n
A team environment where people tend to stay
