Job description

Ramsay Clinic Macarthur – Campbelltown NSW

Help People Reconnect With Meaningful Living

Join an innovative outpatient mental health service working alongside a specialist private mental health hospital.

The Macarthur Mental Health Hub by Ramsay Clinic Macarthur is seeking a Mental Health Occupational Therapist to join a new multidisciplinary outpatient service supporting people across the Macarthur region.

Opening in January 2027, the Hub will bring together psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers and other mental health clinicians to provide integrated, evidence-based care for people living with a wide range of mental health concerns across the Macarthur region.

Unlike many private practices, the Mental Health Hub is being developed alongside Ramsay Clinic Macarthur, creating a unique opportunity to work within an integrated mental health service connected to a specialist private mental health hospital. This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of mental health, recovery and functional wellbeing within an integrated model that supports clinicians through collaboration and shared expertise, while giving clients coordinated, end-to-end care at any stage of treatment or recovery.

Whether you are looking for an employed role with greater stability and access to employment benefits, or prefer the flexibility and autonomy of working through your own business as an independent contractor paid at an hourly rate, we offer flexible engagement models to suit the way you want to work.

Why Join the Mental Health Hub?

The Hub has been designed to provide truly integrated mental health care.

Rather than working in isolation, clinicians will be connected to a broader mental health service that includes psychiatrists, hospital-based care, day programs and other allied health clinicians.

This creates opportunities for:

• Collaborative treatment planning
• Shared care arrangements
• Established referral pathways from the existing mental health hospital and psychiatrist outpatient consulting suites
• Continuity of care across different stages of recovery
• Service innovation and program development
• Participation in a growing multidisciplinary mental health service

About the Role

You will support consumers to:

• Improve daily functioning and participation
• Build independence and confidence
• Develop routines and meaningful activities
• Manage the impact of mental illness on everyday life
• Achieve individual recovery goals

Interventions may include:

• Functional assessments
• Recovery planning
• Lifestyle and wellbeing interventions
• Anxiety, mood and trauma-related support
• Group and individual programs

What We Offer

• Choice of employed roles offering stability and employment benefits, or independent contractor arrangements paid at an hourly rate
• Flexible arrangements
• Administrative support and referrals
• Practice software, IT hardware and supporting systems provided
• Marketing support to local GPs and the broader community
• Modern consulting facilities
• Multidisciplinary collaboration
• Opportunities to innovate and develop new programs
• Supportive and inclusive team culture
• Access to an established network of mental health professionals

About You

You will have:

• Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
• Experience in mental health practice
• Strong understanding of recovery-oriented care
• Excellent communication and engagement skills
• Ability to work autonomously and within a multidisciplinary team
