Looking for more than a typical OT role?

Whether you're an experienced Occupational Therapist looking to broaden your practice, a clinician ready to accelerate your development, or a clinician in the early stages of your career, we'd love to hear from you. If you enjoy tackling complex challenges, collaborating across disciplines, and helping shape the next generation of clinicians, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Whether you're looking to deepen your expertise, broaden your practice, or take the next step in your career, this is an opportunity to do meaningful work while being part of something bigger than a single discipline.

Why Occupational Therapists Choose Noah's Ark

Many therapy providers talk about collaboration. At Noah's Ark, it's how we work every day.

You'll be part of a large and experienced team of practitioners that value professional curiosity, reflective practice, and sharing knowledge across disciplines.

Our Everyday Learning and Therapy approach focuses on helping children develop skills through the everyday activities, routines and environments that matter most to them and their families. Rather than delivering therapy in isolation, you'll work alongside families and other professionals to create meaningful, sustainable outcomes in real-world settings.
