Paediatric Occupational Therapist
Come and find your village
Maybe you're an experienced paediatric OT looking for somewhere you can keep growing without carrying everything alone.
Maybe you're a recent graduate searching for a workplace where asking questions is encouraged, mentoring genuinely happens, and you're given the time and support to become a confident clinician.
Either way, you might have just found your village.
Little Village Therapy is looking for a warm, curious and collaborative Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join our growing team in Sutherland.
We're a playful, relationship-focused clinic where therapy happens through connection, curiosity and plenty of movement.
Our clinic rooms are called Cloud, Rocket Ship and Jellyfish so this probably isn't the place for rigid, cookie-cutter therapy.
It is a place for thoughtful clinicians who want to understand the child beneath the behaviour, work alongside families and keep developing their clinical reasoning.
What your days might look like
No two days in the Village are quite the same.
You might be:
Turning a child's favourite interest into meaningful therapy
Swinging, climbing and problem-solving in our sensory spaces
Supporting a child to feel safer and more confident at school
Coaching a parent through a challenging everyday routine
Collaborating with educators and other members of a child's team
Completing functional assessments and developing meaningful goals
Running or contributing to one of our group programs
Sitting down with your mentor to unpack a tricky case
Sharing ideas, questions and clinical discoveries with the team
You'll provide individual and group-based occupational therapy across our clinic and, when appropriate, home, preschool and school environments.
The kind of OT who will thrive here




You don't need to know everything.
We certainly don't expect you to.
We're looking for someone who is hungry to learn, humble enough to reflect and ask for support, and smart about how they communicate and work with others.
You may be a great fit if you:
Are genuinely curious about children and what may be happening beneath the surface
Value connection before compliance
Want to deliver neuroaffirming, trauma-informed and strengths-based therapy
Enjoy thinking deeply about sensory processing, regulation, relationships, play and participation
Build warm and trusting relationships with children and families
Welcome feedback and use it to grow
Take initiative and follow through on commitments
Communicate openly, thoughtfully and respectfully
Enjoy collaborating while also taking ownership of your responsibilities
Bring ideas, energy and your own clinical interests to the team
Believe therapy should be meaningful and can also be playful, creative and fun
Most importantly, we're looking for a good human who cares deeply about children, families and the people they work alongside.
Your village of support
We want our clinicians to feel held, challenged and supported—not left alone to figure everything out.
At Little Village Therapy, you'll receive:
Weekly individual mentoring
A structured and supported onboarding process
Weekly Lunch and Learns




Fortnightly Therapy Labs and professional development
Regular opportunities to observe and learn from other clinicians
Collaborative case discussions and team meetings
Administrative and Allied Health Assistant support
A gradual and sustainable caseload build
A playful, well-equipped sensory clinic
Opportunities to develop your clinical interests
Opportunities to help shape groups, resources and future services
A team that welcomes questions, reflection and new ideas
We take clinical development seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.
There is room here for learning, laughter, creativity and bringing your whole self to work.
