Job description

Paediatric Occupational Therapist | 4-Day Week | Sutherland Shire

• Predominantly clinic-based paediatric caseload
• Join an established team of 8 Occupational Therapists

• $75,000–$115,000 + super
• Full-time over 4 days available
• Predominantly clinic-based paediatric caseload
• Join an established team of 8 Occupational Therapists

If you're looking for a role that gives you more time to actually enjoy where you live, this one is worth a look.

Our client is an established paediatric Occupational Therapy provider based in the Sutherland Shire, supporting children from preschool age through to approximately 12 years.

You can complete your full-time hours across Tuesday to Friday, generally between 8:00am–6:00pm, giving you a consistent three-day weekend.

Whether that means more time at the beach, getting outdoors, spending time with family or simply having an extra day away from work every week, the flexibility is genuinely there.

Why You'll Love This Role

• Four-Day Full-Time Week: Complete your full-time hours across four days and enjoy a regular three-day weekend.
• Coastal Location: Work in the Cronulla / Sutherland Shire region without needing to commute into the CBD.
• Existing Caseload: Step into an established stream of referrals rather than waiting months for your diary to build.
• Predominantly Clinic-Based: Approximately 70% clinic and 30% community, with flexibility around the split.
• Dedicated OT Team: Join eight paediatric Occupational Therapists rather than working as the only OT in a broader team
• Purpose-Built Clinic: Access a paediatric gym with swings, padding and equipment specifically designed for children.
• Protected Admin Time: Structured time for documentation and notes rather than squeezing paperwork between appointments.
• Varied Paediatrics: Support children from preschool age through to approximately 12 years.
• Optional Community Programs: Get involved in schools, daycare visits, equine therapy, surfing, martial arts, gymnastics and group programs if they interest you.
• Structured Handover: An existing clinician is departing, providing the opportunity for an organised transition into the caseload.

Make the Role Your Own: Some clinicians love community work and getting out of the clinic.
Others prefer predominantly clinic-based paediatrics.
This team is happy to talk about what you actually enjoy and shape the role accordingly.

The same applies to their activity-based programs. You can become involved in equine therapy, surfing, martial arts, gymnastics and group programs, or stay focused more heavily on traditional clinic-based OT.

Salary & Benefits

• $75,000–$115,000 + super
• Permanent full-time position
• Full-time over 4 days available
• Regular three-day weekend
• Established paediatric caseload
• Approximately 70% clinic / 30% community
• Flexible clinic/community split
• Team of 8 paediatric OTs
• Dedicated paediatric therapy gym
• Structured handover
• Senior support and supervision
• Unique activity-based programs available

Who They're Looking For

They're open to Occupational Therapists at different levels of experience.

You might be building your paediatric experience and want a strong OT team around you, or you may already be experienced and simply want a role with more flexibility, less commuting and a better weekly lifestyle.

Requirements

• Relevant Occupational Therapy qualification
• Full AHPRA registration
• Full Australian working rights
• Working With Children Check
• National Police Check
• NDIS Worker Screening Clearance
