Job Description

Join a Crew that Celebrates Wins Together and has Each Other’s Backs

Joining our team remotely in Rockingham, with the ability to work from our Mandurah or Cockburn offices, you’ll manage a varied, mixed NDIS and SAH caseload across the lifespan, having the opportunity to support clients with a broad range of disabilities and supporting older adults to maintain independent in their own home. Your caseload will include a balance of paediatric and adult clients, with opportunities to work on complex assistive technology, equipment prescription and home modifications.

You’ll be supported by an experienced clinical team, along with an AWESOME Regional Manager and Clinical Lead, giving you access to strong clinical guidance while still enjoying autonomy and flexibility in your role. The position also offers the option to work fully remotely while supporting the local Rockingham community.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Occupational Therapist to help grow our presence across the South Coast. You’ll play a key role in developing local services, contributing to team growth and making a meaningful impact within the community.

Day-to-day you will:

• Conduct meaningful assessments and design impactful therapy plans in diverse environments, from participants' homes to day centres, parks, and even at the beach
• Build enduring relationships with clients and witness the lasting impact of your work.
• Innovate and Collaborate: Whether you're dealing with complex cases, exploring new treatment approaches, or facing professional challenges, you'll have a whole multidisciplinary team in your corner.

What makes us Better?

For starters, we're clinician-led at every level, all the way to the top, so we know what it’s like being in the trenches of care. We’ve built the kind of workplace we always wished existed. Where we don't just say we trust our clinicians – we show it.

Our Values

• We Get Sh*t Done!
• We are People People
• Love What You Do
• Frankly, we Give a Damn
• We Value Ourselves

We Back You

We're committed to helping you grow as an Occupational Therapist or as a leader yourself. Our mentoring pathway isn't just about moving up; it's about developing the full spectrum of skills you need to succeed and take on new opportunities including:

• Support and Supervision: You'll be surrounded by colleagues who support you through challenges and an experienced and dedicated 1:1 Supervisor to guide you.
• Professional Development: Flexible and personalised PD budget of up to $2,500 per year to use as study leave, funding towards external learning and courses or a combination of both!
• Resources: The works- laptop, phone + all of our sites have therapy and assessment resources ready to grab and go.

Freedom to Work Your Way

We've created an environment where you can personalise your work style and schedule. Want to split your time between online, in-clinic and community work? We’re here to prioritise whatever makes you the best clinician you can be with:

• Better Flex Policy: Flexible hours and the opportunity to flex off when you’ve completed your client work!
• Clear KPIs: Realistic, achievable and sustainable monthly targets.
• Better Rewards Program: Earn bonus pay or extra leave, or redeem points for PD, gadgets and experiences!
• Paid Parental Leave: 8 weeks for the primary carer and 2 for the secondary carer.
• Travel Reimbursement: Work-related travel paid monthly at $1.17 per KM.
• National Opportunities across 30 Australian sites.

About You

We're after Occupational Therapists who get restless when they see room for improvement and aren't afraid to speak up about it. Who have a fire in their belly about participant care and treat participant goals like personal missions, not just checkboxes on a form.

The ones who have the courage to challenge ideas (yes, even ours) when participant’s interests are at stake.

If this sounds like you, we might just be right for each other.

Qualifications

You will also hold:

• Full AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist – limited may be considered on a case by case basis
• A valid driver’s license and personal vehicle
• An NDIS check, Working with Children Check, and Police Check (or willing to obtain)

Onshore applicants seeking sponsorship will be considered.

Commitment to Diversity:

At Better Rehab, we embrace diversity, inclusivity and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, identities, and abilities including neurodiverse individuals.

If you think you’d be great in this role but don’t meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply, we’d love to hear from you.
