Job description
  • Experienced OT, Speech and Psychology team

Newcastle

  • $80,000–$110,000 + super
  • Full-time permanent
  • 8:00am–4:30pm
  • Established paediatric service
  • Clinic and school-based appointments
  • Experienced OT, Speech and Psychology team

If you’re looking for your next Occupational Therapy position and don't want to spend your first several months wondering when your caseload will actually build, this opportunity offers an established clinical environment from day one.

You’ll join a well-established Newcastle paediatric service supporting children and adolescents aged approximately 2–18 years, with existing referral pathways and an experienced multidisciplinary team already in place.

What Your Caseload Looks Like: The role is approximately:
50% Clinic | 50% School/Community
Your community work is predominantly school-based, helping avoid the constant driving between home appointments that comes with many community OT roles.

School visits are generally located within approximately 30 minutes of the clinic.

You’ll work across areas including:

  • Autism
  • ADHD
  • Developmental differences
  • Sensory processing
  • Emotional regulation
  • Executive functioning
  • Fine and gross motor skills
  • Self-care
  • School participation
  • Independence

The majority of the caseload involves children with Level 1 and Level 2 Autism, with more complex presentations allocated depending on experience.

Structured Clinical Days Clinic appointments are generally:
45 minutes clinical time + 15 minutes documentation

Community visits can also be grouped together, allowing you to structure your diary sensibly and complete associated reporting and administration later in the day.

Why You’ll Love This Role

  • Established Service: Join a clinic with existing referrals and systems already in place.
  • Predictable Caseload: Work across clinic and schools rather than constantly trying to generate new work.
  • Minimal Home Visiting: Community work primarily means local schools.
  • Experienced Team: Work alongside Senior OTs, Speech Pathologists and Psychologists.
  • Fortnightly External Supervision: Protected clinical support every two weeks.
  • $2,000 PD Budget: Invest in areas of paediatrics that interest you.
  • Regular Team Meetings: Discuss challenging cases and learn from different disciplines.
  • 8:00am–4:30pm: Consistent daytime working hours.
  • Strong Staff Retention: Join clinicians who have remained with the service long‑term.

Multidisciplinary Support: Many children attending the clinic see multiple clinicians within the service.
Rather than trying to coordinate with external providers you’ve never met, you can simply speak with the Speech Pathologist or Psychologist working with the same child.
It makes communication easier and helps create more consistent support for families.

Who They’re Looking For

This would suit an Occupational Therapist with at least one year of experience who wants:

  • An established paediatric caseload
  • More clinic-based work
  • Less routine home visiting
  • Experienced clinicians nearby
  • Regular supervision
  • A consistent working week
  • A long-term position within an established team

Requirements

  • Occupational Therapy qualification
  • Full AHPRA registration
  • Minimum 1 year OT experience
  • Driver's licence and vehicle
  • WWCC
  • National Police Check
  • NDIS Worker Screening Clearance
  • Step into an established paediatric caseload
  • Clinic and local school visits - minimal routine home visiting
  • $80,000-$110,000 + super + $2,000 PD budget
