Senior Paediatric OT

Grow Your OT Career with Our Dynamic Yeerongpilly Team

We’re on the lookout for a Senior Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join our team at our

Yeerongpilly clinic

. You’ll be a skilled clinician in your own right, and you’ll also support and mentor less experienced staff members.

We want an environment where every therapist is supported to excel and find their own flow.

If you’ve got solid paediatric experience, some leadership under your belt, and you’re up for taking on complex cases while helping other team members grow, you’ll fit right in.

We work with kids across the full range of needs, sensory, motor, learning, behavioural, emotional and developmental, so you’ll need to be comfortable with variety.

You’ll be working alongside OTs at every stage of their career, from therapists with 7 to 40 years’ experience through to our newer grads.

The caseload is genuinely varied, clinic, community and telehealth, so you get to apply your clinical skills across different settings rather than doing the same thing every day.

Our Yeerongpilly clinic has great resources too, including sensory gyms and dedicated small offices, so your clients get the right space and equipment for their therapy.

Kids Matters OT started back in 2005 because we wanted every child to grow and live their potential.

As we grew, we realised our staff needed the same thing, the support to grow and thrive so they could do their best work for our kids and families.

That hasn’t changed.

We keep caseloads manageable so our team is genuinely looked after, not stretched thin.

We live by our culture code, connection, collaboration, excellence, humble mastery and playfulness

, and we mean it.

• Once you’re settled in, you can contribute to projects and initiatives that match your interests and skills. This isn’t just a clinical role.
• A sustainable caseload with achievable KPIs, so you’re not doing unpaid work outside your hours.
• Full admin support, bookings, billing and customer service are handled for you, so you can focus on your clients.
• Paid non-contact time for clinical admin, planning and follow-up.
• Well-established policies and procedures, so the clinic runs smoothly day to day.
• All resources provided, technology, stationery, games, your own laptop, and a shared i Pad for community visits.
• A generous professional development budget to learn and grow in the direction that interests you.

About the role

You’ll have your own desk, seated close to your colleagues so support and collaboration happen naturally.

This is a hybrid role covering both clinic and community work, with some flexibility in how you set up your schedule.

We try to keep community visits within a tight geographical radius.

You’ll need your own car, with travel costs reimbursed at the government rate.

You’ll have real input into shaping your caseload around your skillset, and you’ll be supported to become the best therapist you can be, while helping others do the same.

You have the opportunity to work part-time (minimum 24 hours/ week) up to full-time.

You’ll be employed by a not-for-profit company with a genuine wider purpose, and salary sacrificing is available for a larger take-home pay.
