Our Client:

Our Client is a privately owned paediatric Occupational Therapy clinic that has supported families across Sydney’s North Shore and Northern Beaches for more than 30 years. Their experienced, collaborative team celebrates every child’s unique strengths and perspectives, values neurodiversity, and works with each family to reach their individual goals. Positive team culture comes first, with early finishes on Friday afternoons, regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development.

About the Role:
