• Flexible work: standard Monday to Friday hours, a 9 day fortnight or a compressed 4 day week
• Company car option (small fortnightly co-contribution and a slightly lower base), or use your own car and be reimbursed at $1.01 per km
• An employer that invests heavily in training and support, so you can deliver quality services
• Clear career pathways, professional development support, wellbeing leave, paid parental leave and an extra leave perk for time away
• Recognised in national workplace rankings, with a supportive culture

About you

• 2 or more years’ experience as an Occupational Therapist, ideally with paediatrics
