Blacktown / St Marys / Western Sydney
- $80,000–$110,000 + super
- Approximately 3 community days + 2 WFH days
- Community appointments generally complete around 3pm
- Geographically grouped clients
- Established caseload
If you're tired of community Occupational Therapy roles where your final appointment finishes late in the afternoon and you're still facing another hour of driving and documentation afterwards, this role operates differently.
Clinicians generally see around five clients per day, with appointments intentionally grouped within similar geographical areas.
Most clinicians complete their face-to-face community appointments at approximately 3pm, before completing any remaining administration from home.
What Your Day Could Look Like: Rather than driving backwards and forwards across Western Sydney, your appointments are intentionally grouped around similar locations.
A typical community day involves approximately five clients in the same location.
Once your community appointments are finished, you aren't expected to drive back to an office simply to complete notes.
Head home and complete your remaining administration there.
Your overall working week is generally:
3 community days | 2 WFH days
Why You'll Love This Role
- Earlier Community Finishes: Face-to-face appointments commonly wrap up around 3pm.
- Two WFH Days: Spend less of your working week travelling.
- Approximately Five Clients Daily: A manageable appointment load.
- Geographically Grouped Caseload: Less unnecessary driving between clients.
- No Unrealistic KPI Pressure: You're trusted to manage your workload appropriately.
- Established Caseload: Step into active referrals rather than building from zero.
- Flexible Diary: Clinicians have autonomy over how appointments are structured.

Dedicated support from experienced Occupational Therapists.

Clients are generally aged 10+, with clinical work including:

Existing clinicians comfortably meet expectations through their normal workload.
The organisation would rather clinicians complete five quality appointments and strong documentation.

Support includes:
- Weekly 1-hour supervision
