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
Robust 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 solid 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
