If you're looking for a role that gives you more time to actually enjoy where you live, this one is worth a look.

Our client is an established paediatric Occupational Therapy provider based in the Sutherland Shire, supporting children from preschool age through to approximately 12 years.

You can complete your full-time hours across Tuesday to Friday, generally between 8:00am–6:00pm, giving you a consistent three-day weekend.

Whether that means more time at the beach, getting outdoors, spending time with family or simply having an extra day away from work every week, the flexibility is genuinely there.

Why You'll Love This Role

- Four-Day Full time Week: Complete your full-time hours across four days and enjoy a regular three-day weekend.
- Coastal Location: Work in the Cronulla / Sutherland Shire region without needing to commute into the CBD.
- Existing Caseload: Step into an established stream of referrals rather than waiting months for your diary to build.
- Predominantly Clinic-Based: Approximately 70% clinic and 30% community, with flexibility around the split.
- Dedicated OT Team: Join eight paediatric Occupational Therapists rather than working as the only OT in a broader team
- Purpose-Built Clinic: Access a paediatric gym with swings, padding and equipment specifically designed for children.
- Protected Admin Time: Structured time for documentation and notes rather than squeezing paperwork between appointments.
- Varied Paediatrics: Support children from preschool age through to approximately 12 years.




- Optional Community Programs: Get involved in schools, daycare visits, equine therapy, surfing, martial arts, gymnastics and group programs if they interest you.
- Structured Handover: An existing clinician is departing, providing the opportunity for an organised transition into the caseload.

Make the Role Your Own: Some clinicians love community work and getting out of the clinic.
Others prefer predominantly clinic-based paediatrics.
This team is happy to talk about what you actually enjoy and shape the role accordingly.

The same applies to their activity-based programs. You can become involved in equine therapy, surfing, martial arts, gymnastics and group programs, or stay focused more heavily on traditional clinic-based OT.
