Job description

Move Play Grow Occupational Therapy – Gledswood Hills NSW

Paediatric Occupational Therapist | New Graduates Welcome

We’re looking for a paediatric occupational therapist to join our team at Move Play Grow OT. Whether you’re a new graduate excited to start your career or an experienced OT looking for a team that shares your approach to therapy, we’d love to hear from you.

About Move Play Grow OT

We’re a paediatric occupational therapy practice based in Gledswood Hills, supporting children, teens and their families across the Macarthur area. Our approach is play-based, relationship-focused, neurodiversity-affirming and family-centred.

What you’ll do

Provide paediatric OT assessment and intervention in our clinic and across settings such as homes, schools and early learning centres.

Plan engaging, individualised sessions that build on each child’s interests and strengths.

Work alongside families, educators and other professionals to develop practical strategies for everyday routines.

Write clear clinical notes and reports that help families and the people supporting them understand the child’s needs and next steps.

Share ideas, reflect on cases and learn alongside a team of paediatric OTs.

Who we’re looking for

You bring a good understanding of child development and a genuine passion for helping children and their families. You’re warm, curious and willing to adapt your approach when a child needs something different. You communicate clearly, enjoy collaborating and value feedback and ongoing learning.

New graduates are encouraged to apply. We’d love to hear what sparked your interest in paediatrics and what you took from your studies and placements.

You’ll work alongside other paediatric OTs, have access to our clinic’s sensory gym and get to see how therapy strategies translate into the places children live, learn and play. We value the conversations between sessions too, whether that’s talking through a tricky case or sharing an activity a child loved.
