JOB DESCRIPTION

Job Description

You'll work across a mixed generalist caseload covering:

• Adults and paediatrics
• Community and clinic-based appointments
• Functional and general OT assessments
• A broad range of presentations and conditions

Some community travel is part of the role (schools, aged care facilities, home visits), so a driver's licence is needed. Down the track, if you're interested, there may also be an opportunity to mentor junior OTs as the team grows - though that's entirely optional.

This role suits you if you

• Enjoy variety and are confident managing a broad caseload independently
• Like making clinical decisions without having to run everything past someone
• Want to genuinely shape a service rather than just fill a seat
• Value being part of a team that actually supports each other

The clinic owner is hands-on, approachable and genuinely open to ideas. If you've ever wanted autonomy without feeling like you're on your own, this is it.

• Competitive salary, negotiable based on your experience
• Multiple professional development opportunities throughout the year
• Flexible workflow - you have real input into how your days are structured
• Long-term growth potential within an established organisation with clinics across Australia
