Job Description

Clinical Operations Lead / Allied Health Team Lead - Senior OT or Speech Path

n

$110,000 – $125,000 per year + Super + Travel

n

The leadership role that doesn't take your caseload.

n

Most allied health team leader and management roles ask you to trade your clinical work for a desk. This one is majority clinical by design: around three days a week of protected senior caseload, two days leading the operational core of a growing practice.

n

About us

n

Intracare is a clinician-led allied health provider built deliberately around clinician wellbeing and sustainable, high-quality care. We have grown to around twenty client-facing clinicians across occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech pathology, with a predominantly complex NDIS caseload and a referral base built almost entirely on word of mouth.

n

Clinician-owned and clinician-led - no board, no management layers, decisions made quickly by people who still see clients and understand the work

n

The overheads we don't carry are why our incentive structures can be what they are

n

Culture isn't a poster here: portfolios are chosen not assigned, ideas get room before they get critiqued, and psychological safety is treated as the thing that makes the rest work

n

The role

n

Clinical - around 3 days, protected:

n

A substantial, ring-fenced senior caseload with continuity cover

n

Complex case input, growing into clinical risk triage over time

n

Your clinical presence keeps us connected to our referral base

n

The escalation point where things stop - operational issues resolved,



clinical matters routed to supervision

n

Accountability for compliance, complaints and incident management

n

Day-to-day line management, quarterly KPI check-ins and recruitment

n

Sign-off on the systems and processes that keep the practice running

n

What's already built for you

n

We spent the last two months building the operational spine so this role doesn't have to be a desk job:

n

Released policies, registers and escalation pathways

n

An operations and admin team beneath you

n

Looking to explore an AI knowledge system answering the team's procedural questions - so their leader doesn't have to be the memory bank

n

As our automation matures, the clinical share of this role is expected to grow, not shrink

n

About you

n

Senior Occupational Therapist with significant clinical experience (Speech Pathology considered). Approximately 5 to 10 years is the sweet spot

n

Passionate about retaining substantial clinical work - this role keeps you practising three days a week by design

n

Strong industry, referrer and stakeholder relationships, and the credibility to represent the practice externally

n

A genuine track record of building and implementing systems and processes in an allied health or NDIS setting

n





Experience line-managing people, including the harder conversations - here, supervision holds the development and this role holds the accountability, by design

n

Highly capable and proactive, with the discipline to distinguish high-value work from white noise, and the confidence to say no to the latter

n

Strong values and integrity, with clear alignment to a clinician-led, anti-burnout, quality-first philosophy on billing and utilisation

n

AI forward and receptive to AI implementation within workflows

n

Comfortable being office-anchored 3 days (flexible hours) as a visible, accessible leader

n

Desirable

n

Formal management training or team leadership in a multidisciplinary setting; familiarity with Splose and Microsoft 365, and comfort working with AI-assisted knowledge and documentation systems; experience across funding bodies beyond the NDIS.

n

Remuneration based on experience level ranging from $110,000 to $125,000 plus superannuation, travel allowance, CPD budget and bonuses

n

The clinical portion carries a billable incentive structure; the management portion is salaried, with a discretionary component tied to operational outcomes

n

Protected caseload of approximately three days per week

n

Anchored at the Bibra Lake office 3 days per week with flexible hours

n

If you read this and started thinking about how you'd make us more productive - or simply thought "leadership without giving up my clients" - that is the role, and we want to talk to you.
