Paediatric Occupational Therapist

Some roles give you a job. Others give you a way of working that actually fits how you practice.

This opportunity sits somewhere in between community and private practice-designed for an OT who enjoys variety, values flexibility and wants to build genuine relationships with the children and families they support.

You'll be working with a well-established provider that has grown steadily through reputation, not rapid expansion. The team is intentionally kept close-knit, which means you're known, supported and included in decisions-not just another clinician on the roster.

What makes this role different
Your caseload isn't handed to you as a fixed list. It's shaped with you. If you prefer more clinic-based sessions, that's possible. If you enjoy getting out into schools, homes and kindergartens, you can lean into that too. Most clinicians here run a mix that suits their style.

You'll be supporting children across early intervention, developmental delays and functional skill-building, with a strong emphasis on practical, everyday outcomes-not just report writing.

How the week typically feels

• A balance of clinic sessions and community visits
• Time built in for notes, planning and communication with families
• Support from admin for scheduling and coordination
• Informal check-ins with the team (no over-structured meetings)

About the company
This is a practice that has been built around retention-both clients and clinicians. Many families stay long-term, and many therapists do too. There's a genuine effort to keep workloads sustainable, communication open and expectations realistic.

They're not trying to be the biggest provider in Perth-they're focused on being a good one.

What's on offer

• Competitive salary with achievable incentives
• Flexible working arrangements (full-time or part-time)
• Travel reimbursement for community work
• Dedicated admin support
• Professional development allowance + ongoing mentoring
• Gradual onboarding with a manageable caseload

About you

• AHPRA registered Occupational Therapist (or eligible)
• Interest in paediatrics and community-based work
• Comfortable working independently while staying connected to a team
• Practical, family-centred approach

If you're looking for a role where you can move between clinic and community, build a caseload that reflects your interests, and work within a team that values consistency over constant growth - this could be a very good fit.
