Occupational Therapist - Home and Living Assessments
Occupational Therapist – Home & Living Assessments
FCA | SIL | SDA | ILO - Full-time & part-time opportunities | Sydney based | Work from home
Not every Occupational Therapist wants to provide ongoing therapy.
Some love pulling together complex information, analysing functional performance, understanding what support a person really needs to live safely and independently, and translating that into explicit, defensible clinical evidence.
That's exactly who we're looking for.
Verve OT is seeking experienced Occupational Therapists to join our team with a specific focus on NDIS Home & Living assessments.
Your caseload will primarily include:
Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA)
Supported Independent Living (SIL) assessments
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) assessments
Individualised Living Options (ILO) assessments
Other complexHome & Living assessments
These are often complex cases requiring you to look beyond a participant's diagnosis and clearly demonstrate their functional capacity, support needs, risks, informal supports, living environment and the evidence underpinning recommended support arrangements.
This isn't a generic community OT role
You won't be expected to provide ongoing therapy or carry a broad caseload covering a little bit of everything.
We're specifically looking for OTs who enjoyassessment, clinical reasoning and report writingand want to develop genuine expertise in the NDIS Home & Living space.
You'll work with participants with complex support needs and collaborate with families, support coordinators, providers and other stakeholders to build a comprehensive picture of the participant's current and future Home & Living needs.
For experienced clinicians, there are also opportunities to work on particularly complex matters,



includingAdministrative Review Tribunal (ART) cases, medico-legal assessments and expert evidence.
