Job description

Join a Crew that Celebrates Wins Together and has Each Other’s Backs.

Better Rehab works across both the NDIS and Support at Home programs, providing clinicians with a broad and varied caseload. This allows you to develop your skills across a range of areas, including activities of daily living (ADLs), capacity building, assistive technology (AT), equipment prescription, and home modifications. You’ll have the opportunity to work with clients with diverse needs and develop practical, client-centred skills across different stages of their support journey.

We’ve recently moved into our brand-new office near Bankstown Airport and are excited to grow our dynamic team! We’re a friendly, supportive group with a strong mix of early professional careers and new graduates, and we’re now looking for experienced OTs who can bring their strengths in supervision, or who have a real interest in developing those skills to help guide and support our early-career clinicians. With offsite supervisors already in place, we’re after practitioners who can be confident leaders in the room, fostering strong collaboration, idea sharing, and day-to-day support. It’s a warm, team-focused culture where you’ll make a meaningful difference to the people we support.

This role is open to being a Team Leader position or developed into a Clinical Supervisor role for Therapists who are ready to take a step up and develop their operational leadership skills.

Day-to-day you will:

• Conduct meaningful assessments and design impactful therapy plans in diverse environments, from participants' homes to day centres, parks, and even at the beach
• Build enduring relationships with clients and witness the lasting impact of your work.
• Innovate and Collaborate: Whether you're dealing with complex cases, exploring new treatment approaches, or facing professional challenges, you'll have a whole multidisciplinary team in your corner.

What makes us Better? For starters, we're clinician-led at every level, all the way to the top, so we know what it’s like being in the trenches of care. We’ve built the kind of workplace we always wished existed. Where we don't just say we trust our clinicians – we show it.

Our Values

• We Get Sh*t Done!
• We are People People
• Love What You Do
• Frankly, we Give a Damn
• We Value Ourselves

We Back You

• Support and Supervision: You'll be surrounded by colleagues who support you through challenges and an experienced and dedicated 1:1 Supervisor to guide you.
• Professional Development: Flexible and personalised PD budget of up to $2,500 per year to use as study leave, funding towards external learning and courses or a combination of both!
• Resources: The works- laptop, phone + all of our sites have therapy and assessment resources ready to grab and go.

Freedom to Work Your Way We've created an environment where you can personalise your work style and schedule. Want to split your time between online, in-clinic and community work? We’re here to prioritise whatever makes you the best clinician you can be with:

• Better Flex Policy: Flexible hours and the opportunity to flex off when you’ve completed your client work!
• Clear KPIs: Realistic, achievable and sustainable monthly targets.
• Better Rewards Program: Earn bonus pay or extra leave, or redeem points for PD, gadgets and experiences!
• Paid Parental Leave: 8 weeks for the primary carer and 2 for the secondary carer.
• Travel Reimbursement: Work-related travel paid monthly at $1.17 per KM.
• National Opportunities across 30 Australian sites.
