Job description

• Lead an established, geographically dispersed OT team.
• Work from home anywhere in Australia, with genuine flexibility and autonomy.
• Work closely with our National OT Manager while maintaining a small local caseload.

We're looking for an experienced Occupational Therapy leader to join Transform Life as a Regional Manager, leading an established team while helping shape the continued growth of our OT service.

You'll oversee clinical and operational performance, support workforce planning and service improvements, and provide broader leadership support to our National Manager - Occupational Therapy, including management coverage during periods of absence.

Our remote-first model means you can be based anywhere in Australia, supporting clinicians virtually while maintaining a small caseload of local community-based clients.

We're big enough to support you, small enough to know you, with national clinical leadership and established systems, but fewer layers between clinicians and decision-makers.

What you'll do

• Lead, mentor and develop a geographically dispersed OT team, building connection and accountability.
• Provide clinical supervision, guidance on complex cases and oversight of clinical quality.
• Monitor team performance, caseloads, capacity and service delivery.
• Support recruitment, onboarding and professional development.
• Collaborate with the National OT Manager on workforce planning, service growth and operational improvements.
• Provide leadership and operational oversight during the National Manager's absence.
• Develop emerging leaders as the service expands.
• Maintain a small NDIS caseload of local clients.

Why Transform Life?

Access regular supervision, a PD allowance, internal learning and our Leadership Excellence program, with opportunities to influence how our services evolve.

Trusted to own your work

We don't micromanage. You'll have the flexibility to lead your team and organise your week your way, with clear expectations around quality and performance.

Independent doesn't mean isolated

Work directly with experienced OT and multidisciplinary leaders. Our flatter structure means support is accessible and decisions can be made quickly.

Built to adapt

We're small enough to respond quickly as the NDIS changes. We value leaders who bring ideas, challenge existing approaches and help shape our services.

What you'll bring

• Occupational Therapy qualification and current AHPRA registration.
• Strong NDIS experience and advanced clinical judgement.
• Demonstrated experience leading and developing OTs in NDIS or community allied health.
• Understanding of clinical operations, caseload management and team performance.
• Confidence making clinical and operational decisions.
• Ability to lead and connect with a geographically dispersed team.
• Current driver's licence and reliable vehicle.

The package

• Competitive Base salary + super.
• Monthly and quarterly bonus opportunities.
• Reduced clinical caseload.
• Laptop, mobile phone and kilometre travel allowance.
• PD allowance, regular supervision and leadership development.
• Permanent employment with fortnightly pay.
• Home-based role with genuine flexibility.

We give our people autonomy, so we look for leaders who take ownership, develop others and want to contribute to a service that's continuing to evolve.
