Occupational Therapist

If you are a passionate and experienced Occupational Therapist who wants to help transform lives through excellence and person-centred NDIS allied health services then you love working at ORS.

You will get to work alongside 80+ other dedicated Occupational Therapists in our NDIS division performing clinical services to participants aged 0-65 with various diagnoses and disability types. We provide the opportunity for every clinician to build a case load that aligns with their skills & interests. More importantly you will also get to work with an amazing group of clients, playing an integral part in their personal growth and development.

The types of assessments and interventions that you will complete include:

• Skill building and capacity building
• Functional assessments
• Sensory assessments
• Assistive technology assessments
• Home and living assessments
• Home modification assessments 

You will work across various environments, including family homes, disability group homes, day programs, schools, community, and/or ORS clinics.

Work Life Balance:

At ORS we genuinely believe in the importance of a healthy work life balance & the benefits it can provide. Many of us have young families and lead busy lives outside of work so we know how important it is for our staff to maintain a balanced lifestyle. For this reason we:

• Provide the resources for our staff to be able to work from home
• Aim to minimise excess travel
• Give you ownership of your own calendar so you can book appointments to suit your schedule
• Provide suburban office locations with free onsite & local parking
• Give you the ability to work part time, reduced hours or a compressed 9 day fortnight (after probation)
• An extra week of annual leave per year upon completion of 3 years service

Learning and Development:

At ORS we truly value the clinical and professional development of our staff. To support this goal, we have a team of discipline specific experts who all possess 20+ years clinical Occupational Therapy experience. You will be able to connect with these experts in one on one and group training sessions and they are available for round the clock specialist support in addition to your Team Leader & Manager.

You will also have access to internal Occupational Therapy specific and interdisciplinary professional development opportunities (Special Interest Groups, Monthly Discipline Specific In-services, and Multi-Disciplinary In-services). These are offered either live or in recorded formats to ensure you have access to the training that suits your needs, with the opportunity to pursue clinical specialisation. Opportunities to pursue external training will also be considered, with options to purchase training allowances through the bonus scheme available.
