Our client, a national allied health organisation is seeking a driven Occupational Therapist to guide a small but expanding team.

- Contribute to strategic growth - this is a stepping stone to a potential future State Manager role
- Clinical Work (2 days/week)
- Community-based NDIS therapy, with both in-person and remote options
- Support client outcomes across the lifespan (ages 13–65)
- Review, finalise and quality-check clinical reports across the team

- 1+ year of team leadership or people management experience
- Strong mentorship, organisation, and communication skills
- Confidence in working with a diverse caseload across adolescence to adulthood
