Job Description

Sunny Starts Paediatrics | Launceston & Northern Tasmania

n

Looking for an OT role that actually feels good to come to?

n

Sunny Starts Paediatrics is growing, and we're looking for a paediatric Occupational Therapist to join our team.

n

We're a fun, supportive and genuinely collaborative team providing OT and Speech Pathology services to children and families across Launceston and Northern Tasmania.

n

What you'll be doing

n

You'll work with children across a range of developmental and functional needs, supporting them to build skills and confidence in the things that matter to them.

n

Your days might include:

n

n
- School, home and clinic-based sessions
n
- Working on regulation, sensory processing, motor skills and self-care
n
- Supporting participation at school and in the community
n
- Collaborating with families, educators and other professionals
n
- Writing reports and developing meaningful, functional goals
n
- Working alongside our Speech Pathologists and Therapy Assistants
n

n

We're big on practical, neuroaffirming and strengths-based therapy. We want therapy to be practical in the real world — not just something that happens in a therapy room.

n

Why Sunny Starts?

n

Because we want you to actually enjoy your job.

n

At Sunny Starts, you'll have:

n

n
- A genuinely supportive team who are happy to problem-solve together
n
- Regular clinical support and supervision
n
- A varied caseload with plenty of opportunity to develop your clinical interests
n
- Flexibility around how and where you work
n




- Access to a clinic space and a ridiculous amount of therapy resources
n
- Collaboration with experienced OTs and Speech Pathologists
n
- Supportive admin so you can focus on your clients
n
- Opportunities to develop programs and areas of interest within the business
n
- A workplace where asking for help is encouraged, not frowned upon
n

n

Who are we looking for?

n

We're looking for an OT who is:

n

n
- Qualified and AHPRA registered
n
- Passionate about working with children and families
n
- Warm, approachable and genuinely enjoys connecting with kids
n
- Comfortable working across different environments
n
- Curious and willing to keep learning
n
- A good communicator and team player
n
- Able to work independently while knowing when to ask for support
n

n

New graduate? We're open to you too. You don't need to know everything - we care much more about your attitude, willingness to learn and how you connect with children.

n

About Sunny Starts

n

- Based in Launceston, servicing Northern Tasmania
