Job Description

n
Sarah Cobbett Occupational Therapy – Toowoomba QLD
n
Occupational Therapist – Community Aged Care
n
$90,000 – $114,000 + Super | Electric Vehicle | Flexible Community Role
n
We're a growing community OT practice supporting predominantly older Australians to remain protected, independent and living in their own homes for longer.
n
We're looking for an Occupational Therapist with at least 2 years' experience who enjoys community practice and is ready for a role with variety, independence and flexibility.
n
Community OT Role
n
We believe good Occupational Therapy requires more than fitting as many appointments as possible into a day.
n
An assessment might lead to equipment research, conversations with family, discussions with a care manager, a supplier visit, a builder consultation and a detailed clinical report.
n
That is all part of being an Occupational Therapist.
n
We want our clinicians to have enough time to think, investigate options and make recommendations they're comfortable putting their name to.
n
Your working week includes time for:
n
n
Client assessments
n
Clinical documentation
n
Report writing
n
Equipment research
n
Supplier liaison
n
Builder liaison
n
Phone calls and emails
n
Case discussions
n
Travel
n
Administration
n
n
The aim is a sustainable working week where reports and documentation are completed as part of your job — not something that regularly follows you home at night.
n
Supporting Older Australians at Home
n
Our practice is particularly focused on older Australians living in the community.
n
The majority of our work is funded through Support at Home and DVA, alongside NDIS, insurance funded and private clients.
n
This creates a practical and varied caseload centred around helping people continue living safely at home.
n
Your work will include:
n
Assistive Technology Assessments
n
n
Mobility equipment
n
Seating and positioning
n
Pressure care
n
Daily living equipment
n
Falls prevention
n
Complex equipment prescription
n
Equipment trials with suppliers
n
n
Home Modification
n
n
Home safety assessments
n

n
Major home modifications
n

n

n
Environmental modifications
n
Joint visits with builders and suppliers
n
n
Clinical Reporting
n
You'll write reports and recommendations for Support at Home, DVA, NDIS and other funding streams, and work closely with care managers, families, suppliers, builders and other health professionals.
n
For an OT who enjoys helping people feel safe and comfortable, your main role is to assess for Assistive Technology, Home Modifications, problem solve and work with older people, there is plenty of engaging work here.
n
We Take Travel Seriously
n
Community OT involves travel.



Poorly planned community OT involves spending half your working day in the car.
n
We actively work to cluster appointments geographically and structure caseloads around sensible travel.
n
We also don't expect you to provide the vehicle.
n
A Fully Maintained Electric Vehicle Is Included
n
You'll receive an electric vehicle for work and personal use, including:
n
n
Registration
n
Insurance
n
Servicing and maintenance
n
Home charging equipment supplied and installed
n
n
That means you're not putting thousands of work kilometres on your own vehicle or constantly submitting kilometre reimbursement claims.
n
The vehicle is part of your employment package.
n
Your Diary Should Work for You
n
Community work can provide enormous flexibility when it's managed properly.
n
Working with our scheduling team, your community appointments are organised with your clinical input, balancing client needs, location and travel efficiency within the operational requirements of the practice.
n
Outside of scheduled appointments, you'll have the autonomy to manage your report writing, clinical documentation and follow-up work around your caseload. Our focus is on high-quality work and meeting your responsibilities, rather than unnecessarily prescribing where you need to be every hour of the day.
n
Depending on your caseload and responsibilities, this can include flexibility around:
n
n
Start and finish times
n
Working from home
n
Client report-writing days
n
Family commitments
n
Personal appointments
n
Structuring your diary geographically
n
n
When you're not visiting clients, much of your reporting and administration can be completed from home.
n
There will still be team meetings, clinical discussions and times when we need everyone together.
n
Flexibility and accountability coexists.
n
Salary and Earning Potential
n
$90,000 – $114,000 + Superannuation
n
Your salary will reflect your experience, clinical capability and the responsibilities of your role.
n
We can discuss remuneration structures including:
n
n
Fixed salary; or
n
Base salary plus performance-based incentives
n
n
We want clinicians who grow their capability and contribution to the practice to have opportunities to grow financially as well to support your life goals.
n
Relocation - We'll Help Make the Move Easier
n
Great clinicians don't always live around the corner.
n
If you're the right fit for our team and looking to relocate to Toowoomba Region, we're open to providing a relocation assistance package to help make the move easier.
n
Depending on your circumstances,



this may include financial assistance towards reasonable relocation costs and flexibility around your commencement date.
n
We're happy to discuss what support would make sense as part of your overall employment package.
n
Whether you're considering a move from Brisbane, interstate or overseas, don't let your current location stop you from applying.
