Job description

We’re looking for an Occupational Therapist to join our multidisciplinary clinical team to help create meaningful change in people's lives.

SAL Consulting is seeking an Occupational Therapist to join our multidisciplinary team in Western Australia, based in Perth.

This is more than a clinical role. Alongside a diverse and rewarding caseload, you'll contribute to multidisciplinary practice and work with individuals, families and service systems to create meaningful and lasting change.

From functional capacity assessments and home modifications to sensory profiling, complex disability, mental health, early intervention and forensic practice, Occupational Therapists at SAL have opportunities to work across an unusually broad range of practice areas while being supported to develop their own areas of interest.

We'll support you to deepen your expertise and build a career around the work that matters most to you

This Role May Be Perfect for You If...

• You're looking for more than a traditional therapy role
• You want to apply your skills at both an individual and systems level
• You thrive in multidisciplinary environments and enjoy working with complexity
• You’re creative, innovative and enjoy thinking outside the box
• You are motivated by learning, growth and making a genuine difference

Why Join SAL Consulting?

At SAL Consulting, we work with children, young people and adults across disability, mental health, education, child protection, out of home care, justice and forensic settings. We support individuals, families, organisations and systems to create meaningful and sustainable change.

We are recognised nationally for our neurodevelopment, attachment and a trauma-informed (©NATI) practice, relationship-based approach and commitment to practitioner development. Our team consistently tells us that the quality of supervision, professional development opportunities and culture are what set SAL apart.

Why Clinicians Choose SAL

• Industry-leading supervision and mentoring
• Individualised professional development plans
• Monthly internal professional development days
• National communities of practice in a range of areas
• Opportunities to develop areas of expertise and interest
• Support from Leadership teams who remain actively involved in clinical practice
• Genuine career pathways and opportunities to add extra tools to your toolkit across therapy, behaviour support, training, leadership and practice development streams

Your work will include:

• Delivering high-quality Occupational Therapy services across community, clinic, school and telehealth settings
• Providing assessment, intervention and consultation services to people with diverse and often complex needs
