Great therapy should fit into real life

At Kind Thinking OT, we believe therapy works best in the places where children actually live, learn and play.

We provide warm, practical and individualised therapy in children’s homes, schools and communities across Perth. We work closely with families, educators and other professionals to help children feel understood, build confidence and participate more fully in everyday life.

We’re looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist to join our small and friendly team on a permanent part-time basis.

A little about us

Kind Thinking OT is a small, growing practice supporting children and families across the Perth metropolitan area.

Our approach is empowering, team-oriented and judgement-free. We don’t see children as problems to be “fixed”. We take the time to understand each child’s strengths, their needs and the everyday situations that may be making life harder than it needs to be.

We’re a close-knit team, but we don’t expect everyone to work in the same place or in the same way. Our clinicians work independently and flexibly, knowing that supervision, collaboration and a friendly conversation are always available when needed.

We understand that life is a juggle. We want this role to work well for our new team member—not just on paper, but in real life too.
