Occupational Therapist | Adult Neurological Rehabilitation
Western Melbourne | Wyndham Vale
Full-time | Permanent | $85,000-$110,000 + super | 2+ years' experience
Not your typical OT role
If neurological rehabilitation is where you want to deepen your clinical expertise, this is an opportunity to join a specialist allied health team where OT is much more than back-to-back appointments.
You'll work with adults living with neurological conditions, helping them regain function, build independence and participate more fully in everyday life.
Your work can move between a fully equipped rehabilitation clinic, a client's home and the wider community, depending on what will genuinely achieve the best outcome for the person in front of you.
This is a
permanent, full-time role
within an established neurological rehabilitation service that has built its reputation around clinical support, professional development and a strong team culture.
The caseload
The adult caseload is
more than 80% NDIS
, with the remainder including some aged care clients who will generally also have a neurological component to their presentation.
The service works with a broad range of neurological conditions, including presentations such as:
Stroke
Multiple sclerosis
Parkinson's disease
Dementia
Cerebral palsy
Motor neurone disease
Huntington's disease
Cognitive and neurological disorders
Balance and functional difficulties associated with neurological conditions
Psychosocial presentations are not accepted as the primary diagnosis.
What you'll actually be doing
Your clinical work may include:
Comprehensive functional assessments and retraining of everyday activities
Supporting clients to improve independence with personal care, meal preparation, routines, budgeting and community participation
Home assessments and modifications to improve safety and independence
Assistive technology assessment and prescription, from low-risk equipment through to complex wheelchairs and seating




Cognitive assessment and intervention targeting memory, concentration, problem-solving and functional performance
Upper-limb and hand rehabilitation
SDA and SIL assessments in the NDIS space
Education around energy conservation, work simplification, pain management and chronic condition management
Supporting families and carers with transfers, lifting and appropriate equipment
Working alongside a broader multidisciplinary team to deliver coordinated neurological rehabilitation
The service has fully equipped rehabilitation clinics with
private treatment rooms and large gym areas
, while therapists also provide home and community visits.
You'll have the autonomy to organise your own diary around what is most beneficial for each client.
What you'll bring
We're looking for an OT who can step into an established neurological service and become productive without requiring a graduate-level onboarding program.
You'll need:
At least 2 years' occupational therapy experience
Full
AHPRA registration
Experience working with NDIS participants and/or people living with neurological disability
Robust clinical reasoning and functional assessment skills
Confidence working independently across clinic and community environments
A genuine interest in neurological rehabilitation
New graduates are
not being considered for this agency-recruited position
.
What's in it for you?
The salary is
$85,000-$110,000 + super
, depending on experience, with a broader employee offering designed to provide more than just a base salary.
You'll have access to:
$1,500 external PD allowance
Up to




3 days of study leave annually
Free access to selected external professional development courses hosted by the organisation
Defined clinical career pathways, leadership opportunities and staff committees
Clinical supervision and structured support as you settle into the service

, alongside being recognised as the
Most Outstanding Allied Health Organisation
at the **** Australian Disability Service Awards.
