Due to ORS’ continued growth, the Occupational Therapy team is in need of our next superstar to join the team!

You will get to work alongside 120+ other dedicated Occupational Therapists in our NDIS division performing clinical services to participants aged 0-65 with various diagnoses and disability types.

Work Life Balance:

At ORS, we genuinely believe in the importance of a healthy work-life balance and the benefits it can provide. Many of us have young families and lead busy lives outside of work, so we know how important it is for our staff to maintain a balanced lifestyle. For this reason, we:

• Provide the resources for our staff to be able to work from home
• Aim to allocate clients close to your home
• Give you ownership of your own calendar so you can book appointments to suit your schedule
• Give you the ability to work part-time or reduced hours

Graduate Programs:

If you have recently graduated or are within your first 12 months of experience, you will be eligible to participate in ORS’ six-month tailored new graduate program. This includes reduced client hours, an allocated supervisor, weekly mentoring, graduate-specific training, and opportunities to network with other new graduates and senior practitioners across Australia. Many of our leaders started with ORS in our Graduate Program!

Career Pathways at ORS:

ORS is an organisation that takes pride in developing our employees into their career pathway of choice. Whether that be regional or interstate secondments, people management, specialisation in a particular interest area such as paediatrics, home modifications, or mental health, and opportunities to try other clinical disciplines such as Positive Behaviour Support or Rehabilitation Consulting. The opportunities are endless and extensive! You will work closely with your Manager and Learning & Development Manager to create a plan to achieve these goals.

A few requirements:

• Tertiary qualifications in Occupational Therapy
• Registration or ability to become registered with AHPRA
• A car and licence
• A National Police Clearance, Working With Children/Working with Vulnerable People Check & NDIS Worker Screening Clearance or able to get one for a client-facing role (or willingness to obtain one before commencement)
