Job Description

Occupational Therapist | Paediatrics | Melbourne

n

If you genuinely enjoy working with children - taking the time to build trust, working closely with families, and seeing long-term progress - this role is built around that kind of work.

n

We're partnering with a private practice in Melbourne that has developed a robust paediatric service, without losing the personal feel that often disappears as clinics grow.

n

What your work will feel like

n

n
- A consistent paediatric caseload - not diluted with unrelated work
n
- Sessions that allow time for engagement, not just task completion
n
- Strong parent/carer involvement and collaborative goal setting
n
- A clinic environment designed with kids (and clinicians) in mind
n

n

The team

n

You'll be surrounded by OTs who enjoy paediatrics - people who share ideas, support each other, and understand that this work can be both rewarding and demanding.

n

There's structure when you need it, but no rigid "this is how you must do things" approach.

n

What makes this role different

n

n




- Caseloads are intentionally paced to avoid burnout
n
- Admin and systems are set up to support you - not slow you down
n
- You'll have the flexibility to shape your clinical interests within paediatrics (sensory, developmental, school readiness, etc.)
n
- A calm, supportive culture that doesn't feel corporate
n

n

Who this would suit

n

n
- An OT with a genuine interest in paediatrics
n
- Someone who values connection with children and families
n
- Early career OTs with strong paeds placements or experienced clinicians
n

n

Essentials

n

n
- Full AHPRA registration
n

n

On offer

n

n
- Competitive salary + incentives
n
- Flexible working arrangements
n
- Ongoing mentoring and career development
n
- A team environment where people tend to stay
n

n

If you're looking for a paediatric role that feels thoughtful, supported, and sustainable - rather than fast-paced and transactional we'd be happy to share more details.
