Experienced Occupational Therapist – Permanent Part-Time or Full-Time
For the therapist ready for their next chapter.
If you're an experienced OT who's been waiting for a role that actually fits your life and honours your expertise, this might just be the moment.
Maybe you're looking to return to practice with part-time hours that still let you do deeply meaningful clinical work.
Maybe you're ready for a fresh full-time chapter in a workplace where the admin load is lifted, the culture is genuinely supportive, and you can focus on the parts of OT you love most.
At Motivate Kids, you'll join a values-led team known for high-quality practice, purposefully designed-for-wellbeing studios, and company-wide initiatives that expand what your OT role can be.
This is a place for growth, creativity, and clinically brilliant work – shaped around your strengths and the season you're in.
