Occupational Therapist | Paediatrics | Melbourne

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.

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.

What Your Work Will Feel Like

- A consistent paediatric caseload — not diluted with unrelated work
- Sessions that allow time for engagement, not just task completion
- Strong parent/carer involvement and collaborative goal setting
- A clinic environment designed with kids (and clinicians) in mind

The team

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.

There's structure when you need it, but no rigid /"this is how you must do things/" approach.





What Makes This Role Different

- Caseloads are intentionally paced to avoid burnout
- Admin and systems are set up to support you — not slow you down
- You'll have the flexibility to shape your clinical interests within paediatrics (sensory, developmental, school readiness, etc.)
- A calm, supportive culture that doesn't feel corporate

Who This Would Suit

- An OT with a genuine interest in paediatrics
- Someone who values connection with children and families
- Early career OTs with strong paeds placements or experienced clinicians

Essentials

- Full AHPRA registration

On offer

- Market-competitive salary + incentives
- Flexible working arrangements
- Ongoing mentoring and professional development
- A team environment where people tend to stay
