Occupational Therapist | Help Children Thrive From the Start
What if your OT career was about more than therapy?
At Kudos Services, we believe the early years can make a lasting difference - and that great support is about helping children participate, connect, learn and thrive in the environments that matter most.
We're looking for an Occupational Therapist to join our passionate Early Childhood teams, working collaboratively with children and families.
Kudos is Australia's first employee-controlled mutual. That means we're shaped by our people, not external investors. Your clinical expertise, ideas and perspective have a genuine place in how we work and how we support children and families.
