Work Locally Without Spending Your Day Driving One of the biggest advantages of this role is the organisation's approach to community travel.

Rather than expecting you to travel across Melbourne, the team works to allocate clients within a 30-minute radius of your home.

This allows you to spend more time working with clients and less time sitting in traffic.

You’ll have the flexibility to manage your appointments throughout the day while receiving support from a dedicated administration team.

• Regular team training and development days
• $1,000 annual PD allowance
• Structured onboarding and shadowing
• Opportunities to discuss challenging cases and develop your clinical reasoning

You'll have access to:

• Senior OTs and Clinical Leads
• Regular supervision and clinical discussions
• Monthly professional development sessions
• Team training and development days
• Full-time administration and operational support

The team is looking for someone who enjoys building relationships with colleagues, sharing knowledge and contributing to a positive working environment.

Flexible Working Arrangements:
The organisation understands that every clinician has different priorities outside work.

Whether you’re looking for a full-time position or prefer a reduced working week, there are opportunities to discuss an arrangement that suits your circumstances.

Requirements
