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

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

Your days might include:
n
n
School, home and clinic-based sessions

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

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

Regular clinical support and supervision

A varied caseload with plenty of opportunity to develop your clinical interests
n
Flexibility around how and where you work

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
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
