Paediatric Occupational Therapist

Description

We're Growing — And We Want You to Grow With Us!

If you're looking for a workplace where you'll be genuinely supported, challenged to grow and surrounded by people who actually care—not just about the work, but about you—keep reading.

Whether you've just graduated or you're ready for a change, we're expanding and continuing to build something special here. And we'd love you to be part of it.

Available Positions

We currently have two Occupational Therapist positions open:

• 1x new graduate OT
• 1x early career OT (1-2 years’ experience)

Why Join OAK OT?

• Above award salary + performance bonuses
  Earn more as you grow your skills and caseload (optional, not expected).
• Serious investment in your development
  Weekly individual supervision + fortnightly group supervision, in-house speakers, external PD budget for courses you choose and structured mentoring.
• Extra annual leave + birthday leave
  Because life happens, and birthdays should be celebrated.
• Minimal travel, maximum support
  Mostly clinic-based work (opposite a shopping centre—coffee sorted), plus a dedicated admin team so you can focus on being an OT.
• Choose your caseload
  We help you build a caseload that matches your interests and strengths as you develop.
• Collaborative, open-plan office
  A place to ask questions, debrief, bounce ideas and actually enjoy coming to work.
• Protected time to grow
  Structured onboarding, steady caseload growth, and a team that genuinely wants you to succeed—not burn out.
• Quarterly team days
  Clinical training, personal development, team building and fun (yes, actual fun).

What you’ll be doing

You’ll deliver neuro-affirming, evidence-based OT to children and families—mostly in our clinic, with some community work. Your week will include:

• Individual and group therapy using each child's strengths and interests to drive creative interventions
• Assessments and goal setting in collaboration with families, teachers and other professionals
• Parent coaching to build capacity beyond the therapy room
• Supervision, mentoring and PD to support your clinical growth and career direction
• Managing an individualised caseload designed around your preferences and areas of interest

About OAK OT

The OAK name is more than a logo—it's a symbol of growth.

Just as an acorn becomes a mighty oak tree, we nurture our clients and our team to grow strong and confident in their own unique way. We're a place where no two clinicians are the same, and where individualised support isn't just for clients—it's for our team, too.

Here's what our current team say:

• "I truly would not be the therapist, or the person, I am today without this workplace!"
• "Having a supportive team to bounce ideas off, problem-solve with, and share wins (and challenges) makes such a difference."
• "I have always felt seen and valued as a person, not just as a role or a number on a team."
• "The flexibility around work hours and location has made me feel trusted and respected—it allows me to balance work and life in a way that supports my wellbeing."
• "We don't take ourselves too seriously, are always up for a laugh or a chat, and still deliver high-quality therapy. There's a great balance between work and fun."
• "This environment has played a big role in shaping me into the professional I am today. I've gained skills, confidence and a deeper belief in my own abilities."
• "Everyone is supportive and welcoming. I feel encouraged to do my best and appreciate the openness to a healthy work–life balance."
• "The work is meaningful, expectations are clear, and there's plenty of room to learn and improve along the way."
• "I feel truly valued, trusted and appreciated—and viewed as a person first, including being allowed to have bad days."
• "Burnout awareness and prevention are genuinely prioritised. There are many opportunities to celebrate wins and reflect on moments we're proud of."
