Occupational Therapist

About this role

Flexibility with structure. Autonomy with real support. Better Rehab is looking for someone to be an instrumental lead in growing our occupational therapy services across the Nowra region. This is a great opportunity for an Occupational Therapist who is keen to develop their leadership skills as the region and team grows. We work across both the NDIS and Support at Home programs, providing clinicians with a broad and varied caseload.

This allows you to develop your skills across a range of areas, including activities of daily living (ADLs), capacity building, assistive technology (AT), equipment prescription and home modifications. You’ll have the opportunity to work with clients with diverse needs and develop practical, client-centred skills across different stages of their support journey. As we don’t yet have an office in Nowra, you’ll need to have a suitable home-office set-up and be comfortable working autonomously.

You’ll still be very much part of our Wollongong team, with the opportunity to join fortnightly team meetings and get involved in their regular social events as much or as little as you’d like. We also have a remote Speech Pathologist in the region for local support! It’s a great way to enjoy the flexibility of working from home while still being connected to a friendly and supportive team. Day-to-day you will: Conduct meaningful assessments and design impactful therapy plans in diverse environments, from participants' homes to day centres, parks, and even at the beach Build enduring relationships with clients and witness the lasting impact of your work.

Innovate and Collaborate: Whether you're dealing with complex cases, exploring new treatment approaches, or facing professional challenges, you'll have a whole multidisciplinary team in your corner. What makes us Better? For starters, we're clinician-led at every level, all the way to the top, so we know what it’s like being in the trenches of care. We’ve built the kind of workplace we always wished existed. Where we don't just say we trust our clinicians – we show it.

Our Values We Get Sh*t Done! We are People People Love What You Do Frankly, we Give a Damn We Value Ourselves We Back You We're committed to helping you grow as a clinician or as a leader yourself. Our mentoring pathway isn't just about moving up; it's about developing the full spectrum of skills you need to succeed and take on new opportunities including: Support and Supervision: You'll be surrounded by colleagues who support you through challenges and an experienced and dedicated 1:1 Supervisor to guide you.
