Our client is a well-loved therapist-owned paediatric allied health clinic supporting neurodivergent children and their families.

Theyre small enough that your voice genuinely matters and mature enough that youll walk into structure admin support and a purpose-built sensory gym on day one.

About the role

You wont be doing this alone. Youll work closely with the Clinic Director and have external supervision from a senior OT calibrated to your level and goals.

By year two as the caseload grows youll begin supervising junior OTs and have an increasing say in how the team is built.

• Monday: two individual therapy sessions a family consultation team lunch a cross-disciplinary case chat with one of the speechies two afternoon sessions.

The mix will shift as the discipline matures and thats the point.
