Paediatric Occupational Therapist — Kids, Milestones & Real Wins | [Location] | Full-Time or Part-Ti

We're looking for a paediatric OT who lights up working with kids and wants a caseload full of the moments that actually matter.

This is the good stuff. You'll work with children from 0 to 18, across our clinic, in their schools, and in their homes, helping them do the things every kid deserves to do: hold a pencil, tie their shoes, sit still enough to learn, make friends, get through a school day feeling capable. You'll run 30 to 60 minute sessions, set real goals with families, and then get the best part of this job, which is watching a kid nail something they couldn't do a month ago and seeing their parents' faces when it happens.

Full-time or part-time from three days a week, built around your life, not squeezed into it.

What your week looks like

You'll manage your own caseload of NDIS and private paediatric clients: initial and functional assessments, standardised tools you already know and love (BOT-2, Sensory Profile, Beery VMI, COPM, Print Tool and more), goal setting, therapy sessions and reports. You'll work inside a proper multidisciplinary team, so you're never the only allied health brain in the room, and you'll liaise with families, teachers, support coordinators, paediatricians and GPs to actually move each kid forward.

Why you'll love it here

• Full-time or part-time from three days, genuinely flexible
• [Insert salary / hourly range]
• A real multidisciplinary team around you, not a solo grind
• Mentoring built in, weekly to fortnightly, so you're supported not thrown in the deep end
• New grads welcome. If you've got the qualification and the heart for kids, we'll back you
• A caseload built on variety, clinic one day, a school visit the next, a home session after that
• The kind of work where you finish the week having genuinely changed a child's trajectory

What we're after

• A tertiary qualification in Occupational Therapy
• AHPRA registration or eligibility for it
• A love for working with children and their families
• A driver's licence and willingness to travel to schools and homes
• Working With Children Check, Police Clearance, and current First Aid and CPR
• Knowledge of NDIS and developmental disabilities is great, though we'll help you build it
• Experience is a bonus, not a dealbreaker

Why people stay

Ask the team and they'll tell you the same thing. It doesn't really feel like work. The kids know you, the families trust you, and the people beside you feel more like family than colleagues. You get mentored, you get room to grow, and you spend your days on work that actually means something. If you've been after a paeds role where you're supported, challenged and genuinely happy to show up, this is it.
