Job description

Occupational Therapist: Flexible Caseload, NDIS and Community (Eastern Shore, Hobart)

An established multidisciplinary allied health provider on Hobart’s eastern shore is looking for an Occupational Therapist to join its OT team. The clinic supports clients from children through to older adults, across physical disability, psychosocial, neurological and other clinical areas, and each therapist’s caseload is shaped around their interests and skills.

This suits an early-career OT who wants broad exposure and room to find their niche, as well as an experienced OT who wants to build a caseload around the work they enjoy most.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Providing OT assessment and therapy to a caseload shaped around your interests, with scope to work across age groups and clinical areas
• Working mostly within the NDIS, with the practice looking to broaden into other funding areas over time
• Completing functional assessments, goal setting, progress notes and NDIS reporting
• Working in the mix that suits your caseload and preferences: clinic, community or hybrid, including time working from home
• Collaborating day to day with colleagues across other allied health disciplines
• Growing your areas of interest and building your caseload in that direction

About You

• Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
• New graduates and early-career OTs welcome, as are more experienced clinicians
• A person-centred, goal-focused approach to therapy
• Clear communicator with clients, families and support teams
• Working With Vulnerable People registration and NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to obtain)
• Full Australian working rights

What’s on Offer

• A caseload tailored to your passion areas and skillset
• Choice of clinic based, community based or hybrid working
• Full time hours, with a higher FTE encouraged for early-career clinicians to maximise learning exposure, though around 0.8 to 0.9 FTE can also be accommodated
• A fully equipped multidisciplinary clinic with dedicated paediatric and sensory spaces
• Access to a wide team of allied health colleagues for shared learning and referrals

Location

• Rosny Park, Hobart: A busy eastern shore hub with plenty of cafes and shops, easy parking and quick access to the waterfront.
