What's on offer

Are you looking for the flexibility of being able to work for yourself, while still enjoying the benefits of full administration support within a warm, inviting team culture? Adelaide Paediatrics has an opportunity for an experienced occupational therapist to join our Kensington Park Practice, either as an independent contractor or in a salaried position.

Adelaide Paediatrics has been Helping Children and Families Thrive since 2011 - we focus on understanding each child’s individual strengths and needs, enabling them to engage in activities that are meaningful to them. We offer a unique practice environment, combining teams of medical specialists and allied health professionals. Unlike dedicated single-discipline OT practices, at Adelaide Paediatrics you will enjoy direct access to the advice of our expert paediatric medical specialists and multidisciplinary allied health team to assist in the management of your clients. This translates into more streamlined multidisciplinary care, realising benefits for you as a clinician, as well as the children and families who make up your caseload.

- Work with families in one of the fully resourced therapy spaces at our highly regarded Kensington Park clinic, including the option to provide supports within the community at home, kindergarten, or school

- Access expert advice and collaborate with our Paediatric Medical Specialists and Allied Health Team
