We're Hiring: Occupational Therapist | Paediatric Allied Health | Clayton South & Heidelberg
Are you an Occupational Therapist who lights up when a child hits a milestone they've been working toward for months?
Whether you're a new graduate ready to launch your career or an experienced OT looking for a practice that genuinely invests in your growth — we want to meet you.
About First Step Therapy Services
At FSTS, we specialise in paediatric therapy for children aged 0–18 years across our Clayton South and Heidelberg clinics. Our multidisciplinary team takes a strengths-based, family-centred approach — building real, functional goals with children and the people who love them most.
We're growing, and we're looking for an OT who wants to grow with us.
We know what early-career and mid-career OTs actually need — and we've built our support structure around that:
* Structured New Graduate Program — you won't be thrown in the deep end
* Weekly 1:1 supervision with a Senior Occupational Therapist
* Monthly in-service training and ongoing PD investment
* A collaborative multidisciplinary team (physio, OT, allied health)
* Clinics built around kids — genuine, warm, and fun to work in
* A leadership team that mentors, not just manages
Your day-to-day will include
* Paediatric assessments and therapy across developmental, sensory, and functional domains
* Functional Capacity Assessments and reports (full training provided)
* Home modification assessments and reports (full training provided)
* Complex equipment prescription — seating, wheeled mobility, and more (full training provided)
* Collaborating with physiotherapists, educators, support coordinators, and families
What you need
* Bachelor's or Master's in Occupational Therapy
* AHPRA registration (or imminent graduation — new grads welcome!)
* A genuine passion for working with children with additional needs
* Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
* Working with Children Check, NDIS Worker Screening, First Aid/CPR, and a valid Australian driver's licence
