Senior Occupational Therapist – Newcastle
Senior OT role in Newcastle. Flexible caseload, work with Clinical Lead, mentor others, strong support and career growth.
Senior Occupational Therapist
Flexible Caseload | Work Closely with Clinical Lead | Newcastle, NSW
Mars Healthcare is representing a well‐established, privately owned allied health provider in Newcastle in the search for a Senior Occupational Therapist. This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior role where you can shape your caseload, influence clinical service delivery, and work closely with an experienced Clinical Lead Occupational Therapist. This role is perfect for a senior clinician who enjoys hands‐on therapy, mentoring others, and contributing to the development of a high‐performing team, with the autonomy to work in the way that suits you best.
Why This Role Stands Out
This clinic has been supporting the Newcastle community for over 20 years and is highly regarded for delivering quality services across NDIS, DVA, aged care, CTP, and lifetime care. Growth has been driven by excellent clinical outcomes, strong referral relationships, and a supportive, collaborative team culture. With a team of 15 clinicians, the environment balances professionalism with warmth. The leadership team is approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping clinicians thrive both professionally and personally.
The Opportunity
In this senior role, you'll work closely with the Clinical Lead Occupational Therapist, have input into clinical decisions, and mentor junior team members. You will also have the flexibility to choose your caseload based on your experience and interests—paediatrics, adult rehabilitation, or a mixed caseload—while remaining actively involved in client care and service improvement initiatives.
What's On Offer
* Tailored incentives and bonus structures
* Additional personal leave to support work‐life balance
* Flexible working arrangements including work‐from‐home options
* Time in lieu for extra hours worked
* Generous professional development support with no rigid PD limits
* Strong clinical and administrative support
* A positive, collaborative team culture where your input is valued
About You
* AHPRA registered Senior Occupational Therapist
* Significant experience across paediatrics, adult rehabilitation, or mixed caseloads
* Confident working independently and contributing to team leadership
* Strong communication, organisation, and clinical reasoning skills
* Passionate about mentoring, learning, and continuous improvement
* Committed to delivering high‐quality, client‐centred outcomes
Interested?
If you're a senior OT looking for flexibility, influence, and a supportive environment where your experience is genuinely valued, Mars Healthcare would love to have a confidential conversation with you.
Please feel free to reach out to Mike Kuczer for a confidential chat.
