About the Role We're looking for an experienced
Senior Occupational Therapist
to join our established multidisciplinary team based from our
Elizabeth Vale clinic
.
This is an opportunity to continue doing the clinical work you enjoy while taking a more active role in
mentoring, supporting and developing other clinicians
.
Our Elizabeth Vale caseload is predominantly
paediatric and youth (around *****%)
, with a smaller adult component.
You'll manage a diverse and more complex caseload across
clinic, home, school and community settings
, generally supporting participants within approximately 30 minutes of Elizabeth Vale and surrounding northern Adelaide areas.
As a Senior OT, you'll also bring your experience to the wider team through
clinical mentoring, supervision, case discussions and shared learning
, while continuing to develop your own areas of clinical interest.
A Team You'll Actually Feel Part Of
Elizabeth Vale is home to a close-knit team of
9 clinicians
who describe their culture as
kind, fun and determined
.
You'll work alongside Speech Pathology and other allied health colleagues, with existing specialist knowledge across
feeding, communication,



emotional and sensory regulation and home modifications
.
The team connects regularly through
weekly meetings, Communities of Practice and multidisciplinary discussions
, creating plenty of opportunity to bounce around ideas, share different perspectives and work collaboratively around participants.
There's also a solid social connection – think morning teas, coffee catch-ups, lunches, birthday celebrations and plenty of office banter.
