Tired of job ads that all sound the same? It’s hard to tell which ones are genuine and which will leave you burnt out. At MoveAbout, we invite you tomeet the team, ask questions, and experience the connection and support we offer first-hand. You don’t just have to take our word for it- talk to the OTs who are thriving here.

Still curious? Read on to discover how MoveAbout will help you 'burn in' rather than burn out.

Why MoveAbout is Different

You’ve seen other ads promising "great support" and "work-life balance." At MoveAbout, weactually mean it. We rarely need to advertise- the right people tend to find us! We currently have the capacity to bring on an OT who is a great fit for our culture. So, reach out and let's chat to see if that could be you!

At MoveAbout, we support the people who support the kids. Whether you’re starting your career or reigniting your passion, we offer an environment that truly cares about your well-being.

Real Support: Weekly 1:1 and Weekly Group Mentoring (regardless of your experience—mentoring doesn’t end after six months!), in-session coaching & support, time to shadow and learn, co-treatment spaces for collaboration, and online sessions with world‑class clinicians like Kim Barthel and Sheila Frick. You’ll be part of a connected, playful, learning‑driven team.

Career Growth: Your journey is yours to shape at MoveAbout. We believe in co‑creating career paths that reflect your unique strengths and passions.
