MARS Healthcare is partnering with an established and growing paediatric and disability-focused allied health organisation to find an Occupational Therapist to join their Southern River team.

With around 53 staff across their services, this is an organisation that has built a strong reputation for providing high-quality, evidence-based therapy while creating an environment where clinicians are trusted, supported and encouraged to grow.

Why This Role?

This is more than just another paediatric OT position. You'll have the opportunity to build your clinical skills within a highly supportive team while having genuine autonomy over how you work.
What's on offer:

• Monthly clinic-based PD sessions
• Clinical training every 6 weeks
• Your own individual learning and development plan
• Ongoing mentoring from experienced and specialised clinicians
• Flexible working across clinic, community and WFH
• Autonomy over your diary and caseload
• Dedicated administration support to manage bookings and diary coordination
• Community travel generally limited to 15km / 30 minutes

• No micromanagement - clinicians are trusted to work autonomously
• Sponsorship may be considered for the right candidate

The Role

You'll work with children and young people aged 0-18, supporting them and their families to achieve meaningful goals and greater independence.
The caseload can include:

• Early intervention

There is also the opportunity to develop specialist skills across a range of recognised approaches, including Zones of Regulation, Alert Program, CO-OP, PRPP, AHA/Bimanual Therapy and SOS Approach to Feeding.

A Culture Built Around You

The organisation places a strong emphasis on clinical quality rather than simply chasing billable hours.
You'll be trusted to manage your diary, with the support of an experienced administration team, allowing you to focus on your clients rather than spending your day dealing with scheduling and administration.

The team operates in an open and collaborative environment where clinicians share knowledge, support one another and genuinely enjoy working together.
