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. Feel free to reach out to Camille at camille@mediix.com.au.
