Paediatric Occupational Therapist – Contractor

(Minimum 1–2 Years Experience Required)

Are you an experienced paediatric OT who loves actual therapy - not admin overload, rushed caseloads, or feeling like you’re doing everything on your own?

At Bumble Bea Occupational Therapy, we’ve intentionally built a structured, neuro-affirming, values-led practice so clinicians can focus on high-quality, ethical, child-led therapy - supported by systems that genuinely make work easier.

We’re growing the hive and inviting a paediatric Occupational Therapist (contractor) who values autonomy, clarity, and real connection. To support continuity for families and match current referral needs, we are seeking a contractor able to commit to a 2-3 consistent days per week working primarily with children aged 2–12 years . Please only apply if this availability aligns with your current clinical interests.
