Paediatric Occupational Therapist – Geelong D.O.T.S. Child OT
🌊 Live in Geelong. Work in Geelong. Love what you do.
We're bringing D.O.T.S. to Geelong and we're looking for the right OT to grow with us.
If you're based on the Bellarine, the Surf Coast, or anywhere in between, this is a rare chance to build a meaningful paediatric caseload close to home, without the Melbourne commute. Our Geelong service is mobile (for now as we grow but looking at some room options), which means you're out in the community in homes, schools, and kindy settings doing real, relationship based OT work with kids who genuinely need you.
We're open to all experience levels. Whether you're a new grad ready to be properly supported, or an experienced clinician wanting more autonomy and a team that gets it, we'd love to talk.
Why OT's choose D.O.T.S.:
* Real supervision, not lip service. Tailored onboarding, regular mentoring, and ongoing support that actually matches where you're at.
* A generous PD budget and the room to develop a niche you care about such as early childhood, ADHD, PDA, motor coordination, emotional regulation, you name it!
* AHA and admin support so your days aren't eaten by scheduling and paperwork.
* A caseload you help shape we believe in realistic workloads and work that fits your life.
* Competitive salary plus performance bonuses and genuine career progression.
* A team people actually like being part of. Check out our Instagram, it'll give you a feel for who we are. @dotschildot
What the role looks like:
You'll deliver individual sessions, run group and paired programs, and collaborate with families, schools, and early childhood settings. If you're keen to get involved in parent education, webinars, or mentoring other therapists there's space for that too.
You're probably a good fit if you:
* Are AHPRA-registered (new grad to experienced, all welcome)
* Love working with kids in a neuroaffirming, strengths-based way
* Want to feel connected to your team, not isolated in the community
* Are genuinely curious, collaborative, and up for growing
