Paediatric Occupational Therapist

NeuroJunior (Paediatric) Senior Occupational Therapist

Are you a paediatric OT who's passionate about working with children and young people?

Are you seeking a flexible work environment with work-from-home, telehealth and 4-day work weeks/9-day fortnight options?

NeuroJunior Occupational Therapy works as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team. You will provide assessment and therapy services to children and young people with developmental and acquired neurological conditions and disabilities such as developmental delay, autism, cerebral palsy, and intellectual disability. You will be able to shape your caseload around the age range of 0-18 years, depending on your interests and experience across the life stages.

You will be working with children, young people and their families in various settings: home, school, clinic, and their community including parks and local shops. You will be supporting those around the child to also grow and thrive in their role as carers, siblings, family, and parents. The role is challenging and rewarding, ideal for those looking to make a difference to these children and young persons. 

We are a Child Safe organisation and adhere to Victorian Child Safe regulations.
