We're looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist to establish OT at our Keilor clinic.

Keilor Village Therapy Co is a small, family-centred paediatric practice in Keilor Village. We already have speech pathology well established across two clinic spaces. We do not yet have occupational therapy - and we want the right clinician to help us build that properly, not bolt it on.

This is not a 'join a large OT team and pick up leftover clients' role. You would be our first OT. You would help shape how OT is delivered here: assessment and intervention approach, documentation, NDIS reporting, equipment and resources, and how we work alongside our speech pathologists and families.

The role

- Build and deliver OT in clinic, with community / school visits as the service develops
- Complete assessments, therapy, and reports (including NDIS-related documentation)
- Work with existing speech pathology clients and families where OT is clinically indicated
- Help set up practical systems: templates, resources, clinical processes, and a sustainable caseload
- Contribute to how we grow OT over the next 12-24 months (including future hiring)
- Participate in team collaboration - we are small on purpose

Who this suits





AHPRA-registered Occupational Therapist

Several years of experience

Comfortable being the first / only OT on site (for now!), with external supervision funded

Interested in service development, not only a full clinical diary from week one

Clear communicator with families, schools, and other therapists

Current WWCC, NDIS Worker Screening (or willingness to obtain), and driver's licence

Recent graduates and early-career clinicians are welcome to apply for future roles as the OT service grows. This particular role needs someone who can practice independently and help us set the standard.

What we offer

A real say in how OT is set up, rather than inheriting someone else's model

No billable-hour grind culture and a small team that already works closely with families

Admin support so you are not building a practice and doing reception

Funded external OT supervision

PD support

Flexibility on days / hours for the right person

If you have been looking for a clinic where OT is wanted, not squeezed in, we'd like to talk.

- WWCC
- Police check
- Driver's licence
- AHPRA registration
