Job description

If you’re the kind of OT who genuinely loves working with children and wants the time, support and flexibility to do it well - this role might feel a little different to what you’re used to.

This is a well-established, friendly clinic in Hobart with a strong reputation in the community. The team is warm, down-to-earth and collaborative, with a real focus on quality care rather than rushed appointments or unrealistic KPIs. You’ll be stepping into a paediatric caseload that is already in place, with consistent referrals and the support you need to build meaningful, long-term relationships with families.

What makes this role stand out?
You’ll have the autonomy to shape your caseload around your interests—whether that’s early intervention, sensory work, school-based support or more complex developmental presentations. Sessions are structured to allow you to actually do your job properly, not just move from one appointment to the next. There’s also genuine flexibility built into the role, so you can balance clinic work, school visits and admin time in a way that works for you.

The clinic environment
You’ll be working in a purpose-driven space designed for paediatric therapy, alongside a supportive multidisciplinary team. It’s the kind of place where ideas are shared, wins are celebrated and you’re never left feeling like you’re on your own.

What’s on offer

• Competitive base salary with strong incentive structure
• Flexible working arrangements (full-time or part-time)
• Dedicated admin support so you can focus on clinical work
• Professional development allowance + ongoing mentorship
• Clear career progression within a stable, growing organisation
• Relocation support available if you’re moving to Hobart

About you

• Qualified Occupational Therapist with AHPRA registration (or eligible)
• Passion for paediatrics and working with families
• Confident working independently but values team support
• Strong communication skills and a warm, engaging approach

Why Hobart?
Hobart offers a lifestyle that’s hard to match—coastal living, short commutes, incredible food and a strong sense of community. Whether you enjoy the outdoors, a slower pace of life, or simply want more balance in your week, it’s a place where work and lifestyle actually align.
