Are you an experienced paediatric OT who's ready for more than "another clinic role"?
Someone who lights up at the idea of shaping how OT is delivered — the referral pathways, the group programs, the FCA process, the cross-disciplinary rhythm — inside a team that already has strong speech and psychology foundations?
About the clinic
Our client is a well-loved, therapist-owned paediatric allied health clinic supporting neurodivergent children and their families.
Their speech pathology and psychology streams are humming, and they're now investing seriously in growing their OT discipline — with the right senior OT at the centre of it.
They're small enough that your voice genuinely matters, and mature enough that you'll walk into structure, admin support, and a purpose-built sensory gym on day one.
About the role
You'll help shape how OT lives inside the clinic — from referral pathways and group program design, to how OT FCAs and therapy are introduced to families already engaged with the speech and psych teams.
You won't be doing this alone.
You'll work closely with the Clinic Director and have external supervision from a senior OT, calibrated to your level and goals.
By year two, as the caseload grows, you'll begin supervising junior OTs and have an increasing say in how the team is built.
A picture of what a week might look like:
Monday:
two individual therapy sessions, a family consultation, team lunch, a cross-disciplinary case chat with one of the speechies, two afternoon sessions.
Wednesday:
an assessment,



report writing, team lunch, an hour planning FCA delivery within the clinic, two afternoon sessions.
The mix will shift as the discipline matures — and that's the point.
