Job description

At Allied Kids Therapy, we believe great therapy happens when clinicians feel supported, valued, and genuinely enjoy the work they do. We partner closely with children and families to create meaningful, practical progress that fits naturally into everyday family life. We look after our therapists just as intentionally as we look after our clients.

We don’t just talk about our values. We live them:

• We can do hard things. Paediatric OT work is complex and rewarding in equal measure, and we tackle it head-on, together.
• We are life-long learners. Growth doesn’t stop at graduation. We invest in your clinical development for the long haul.
• We don’t pass the buck. Everyone owns their outcomes, for clients, for each other, and for the team.
• We show up and support each other. No one does this work alone here.

We are committed to maintaining a happy, healthy, and productive work environment by listening to what drives you and understanding your needs:

• Opportunities for Growth: As our team grows, we have new opportunities for Occupational Therapists who are wanting to upskill in supervision and leadership.
• Flexibility: We believe in giving you ownership of your schedule, letting you choose when to work from home and how to structure your hours and visits each week.
• Clinical Development: Access regular supervision, tailored monthly CPD programs, an individual $2,000 annual PD budget, and 1 paid study day each year to support your career growth.
• Team Culture: We don’t just say we have a great culture — we live it! Enjoy a fun, rewarding environment with regular social events that foster connection and well-being.
• Hearing your Voice: We encourage a culture where feedback is welcomed, and every team member can contribute to shaping how we work together.

What We’re Looking For:

• Full-time or part-time Occupational Therapist with relevant degree
• Clinicians who are passionate about working with a predominantly paediatric community caseload
• Interest in covering caseloads in North Melbourne
• A full driving license and access to a car is required

• Fun, Connected Team: Join a social, friendly team with paid quarterly team-building events.
