Paediatric Occupational Therapist (Yeerongpilly)

 

Make a Difference in Kid’s Lives:

Paediatric Occupational Therapist (Yeerongpilly)

 

We’re looking for an experienced Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join our dynamic, skilled and friendly team at Yeerongpilly.

This role is best suited to a therapist with at least 4 years’ experience who is ready for the next step in their career. You’ll find your place in a team where clinical excellence, strong connection, and ongoing development are deeply valued. Be supported to care for your clients and grow in a way that works for you.

 

At Kids Matters OT, you’ll benefit from:

  • Inspiring therapy conversations with other experienced OTs

  • Support in managing tricky clinical presentations and family dynamics

  • Encouragement to collaborate with a child’s wider team — including educators, other health professionals and support networks

  • Opportunities to support children in clinic, at home, in the community, at kindy or school, or online — whatever best supports their needs

 

Why Kids Matters?

We’re an occupational therapy clinic with a strong culture that’s lived every day. Our culture is grounded in Connection, Collaboration, Quiet Mastery, Excellence and Playfulness — values that shape the way we support each other, make decisions and work with families.

Our spaces are purpose-built to meet a variety of needs, including sensory gyms and distraction-reduced rooms, and we’re committed to offering a well-rounded, supported work environment — no matter where you are on your professional journey.

 

What You’ll Enjoy

  • Working alongside 10 senior clinicians and a wide range of early to mid-career therapists

  • The opportunity to grow into informal supervision and mentoring responsibilities when you’re ready

  • Full admin support (billing, bookings, phone calls) so you can focus on your clients

  • A gradually built caseload with sustainable KPIs that support work-life balance

  • Paid non-contact time to manage documentation and clinical preparation

  • Weekly supervision with a senior clinician (then tailored to your needs, minimum monthly)

  • A generous PD budget tailored to your clinical interests

  • Use of a dedicated desk space, your own laptop, and access to an iPad for community visits

  • Reimbursed travel for community work, kept within a tight geographical radius

 

About the Role

  • Based at our Yeerongpilly location (with clinic and community-based work)

  • Flexible work options: Full-time or Part-time (minimum 24 hours/week)

  • You’ll need a reliable car and current driver’s licence

  • You’ll have some autonomy in your caseload and can match your clinical strengths to client needs

  • Employed position within a values-led, stable not-for-profit organisation

  • Access to salary packaging

 

Please note – this position requires a minimum of 4 years’ experience and the ability to work independently within a team. If you’re an early career therapist, feel free to explore future opportunities with us. We love supporting new grads through our dedicated graduate program – new and recent graduate education program (over 30 hours of PD) – to build your confidence and skill.
