Occupational Therapist – Mental Health & Complex Disability

Specialised Support Services (WA)

Part-Time Employee | Work From Home + Community-Based | Opportunity to Grow to Full-Time

Perth, WA

Specialised Support Services (WA) is looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist to join our growing team.

But we aren't looking for just anyone.

We are looking for someone passionate about mental health who takes pride in exceptional clinical work and wants to become a valued, long-term member of a business built on trust and autonomy.

This is an opportunity to help us build the allied health arm of Specialised Support Services (WA) and have genuine input into what it becomes.

About Us

Specialised Support Services (WA) was built with a very explicit purpose: to provide high-quality, person-centred support to people living with complex disabilities, with a particular passion for complex mental health, psychosocial disability, neurodiversity and neurological conditions.

We are a small, passionate and growing organisation built around trust and autonomy. Our team members manage their own workloads, build meaningful participant relationships and use their professional judgement without unnecessary micromanagement. In return, we expect accountability, high professional standards and genuine care for participant outcomes.

This business has been built from the ground up with an enormous amount of hard work, commitment and personal investment. As we expand into allied health, finding the right person is far more important to us than simply filling a position.

We want someone who will care about the reputation of Specialised Support Services (WA),



take pride in being part of the team and hopefully grow with us for many years to come.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Occupational Therapist to initially join us on a part-time permanent basis, with the opportunity to increase to full-time as your caseload develops.

This is predominantly a work-from-home and community-based position.

You will manage your own diary and appointments, completing participant consultations in their homes, in the community or via telehealth where clinically appropriate. Report writing and other administrative duties can be completed from home.

You will be trusted to independently manage your caseload, schedule your appointments and structure your working week in a way that enables you to provide high-quality services while meeting your professional responsibilities.

A laptop and work phone will be provided.

What You'll Be Doing

Your work will primarily involve supporting NDIS participants with complex support needs, particularly participants living with psychosocial disability, mental health conditions, neurodiversity and other complex disabilities.

Your responsibilities may include:

- Completing comprehensive Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs).
- Completing high-quality Home and Living assessments and reports.
- Undertaking occupational therapy assessments and interventions.




- Completing comprehensive clinical assessments in participants' homes and community environments.
- Preparing robust, evidence-based reports that clearly articulate functional impairment, support needs, risks and recommendations.
- Gathering and critically analysing information from participants, families, Support Coordinators and other treating professionals.
- Translating complex clinical information into clear, defensible and practical recommendations.
- Providing ongoing occupational therapy intervention where appropriate.
- Participating in stakeholder meetings and multidisciplinary collaboration.
- Maintaining accurate and timely clinical documentation.
- Managing your own caseload, appointments, follow-ups and report deadlines.
- Developing meaningful therapeutic relationships while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.
- Advocating for participant outcomes through high-quality clinical evidence and recommendations.

Report Writing Is a Major Part of This Position

We are looking for an OT who is exceptionally confident in assessment and report writing.

Our participants often have complex presentations, and their reports can significantly influence the supports they receive. We need someone who goes beyond templates and assessment scores: someone who can critically analyse evidence and clearly connect disability, functional impairment, risks, environment and recommended supports.

Your reports should be comprehensive, individualised, evidence-based, clinically defensible and of a consistently high professional standard.
