JOB DETAILS:

Overview

If you genuinely enjoy working with children — taking the time to build trust, working closely with families, and seeing long-term progress — this role is built around that kind of work.

We’re partnering with a private practice in Melbourne that has developed a strong paediatric service, without losing the personal feel that often disappears as clinics grow.

What your work will feel like

• A consistent paediatric caseload — not diluted with unrelated work
• Sessions that allow time for engagement, not just task completion
• Strong parent/carer involvement and collaborative goal setting
• A clinic environment designed with kids (and clinicians) in mind

The team

You’ll be surrounded by OTs who enjoy paediatrics — people who share ideas, support each other, and understand that this work can be both rewarding and demanding.

There’s structure when you need it, but no rigid “this is how you must do things” approach.

What makes this role different

• Caseloads are intentionally paced to avoid burnout
• Admin and systems are set up to support you — not slow you down
• You’ll have the flexibility to shape your clinical interests within paediatrics (sensory, developmental, school readiness, etc.)
• A calm, supportive culture that doesn’t feel corporate

Who this would suit

• An OT with a genuine interest in paediatrics
• Someone who values connection with children and families
• Early career OTs with strong paeds placements or experienced clinicians

Essentials

• Full AHPRA registration

On offer

• Competitive salary + incentives
• Flexible working arrangements
• Ongoing mentoring and professional development
• A team environment where people tend to stay

Work Hours: 8

Experience in Months: 12

Level of Education: bachelor degree
