Posted: 9 May
Offer description

We are one of the largest providers to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), supporting over 10,000 participants every year with the care they need, when and where it is needed.

We have a multi-disciplinary team approach, building a quality support service around the needs and goals of our participants and their family.


Job Description

We are expanding our Occupational Therapy team and welcome experienced and dynamic Occupational Therapists eager to be part of a multidisciplinary team and make a difference.

You'll bring expertise, maturity, and strong time management and organisational skills to the role.

Suitable candidates will provide supports to NDIS participants living in various areas, including Maitland, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Central Coast, and surrounding regions.

We offer structured supervision, mentoring, and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities.

No two days are ever the same - you might find us working in childcare centres, schools, aged care facilities, day programs, the community, homes, and/or our clinic space.

We value our culture, clinical excellence, and stewardship.

We are looking for Occupational Therapists who share our passion for disability and are excited about working across the lifespan with physical disability, paediatrics, adults, psychosocial conditions, and neurodevelopmental conditions.

* Interpret findings to formulate treatment goals unique to each participant.
* Provide evidence-based therapeutic interventions to enhance participants' quality of life and meet their goals.
* Mentor and nurture early career clinicians.
* Maintain awareness of current legislation to ensure compliance.


What's in it for you?

As you support many, we support you.

* Work flexibility - From 24 hours a week to full-time, you select the hours and days that work best for you as an individual.
* Excellent remuneration - Industry-leading salary + salary packaging + car allowance + laptop + smartphone + purchased leave + bonus opportunities.
* True work-life balance - The autonomy of setting your calendar, your way.
* Career progression - Access to ongoing training tailored to your interests and long-term goals combined with professional development opportunities.
* Continuous Professional Development - A generous CPD allowance and paid leave days to complete this.
* Passionate and positive culture - Be part of a purpose-driven team that believes in your development and in making a difference.

* Current registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) as an Occupational Therapist.
* Excellent time management and organisational skills to manage a varied caseload.
* A proactive attitude and interest in continually developing your skills.
* Experience in mentoring and supervising other Occupational Therapists.
