🌟 Occupational Therapist Position (FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME) 🌟

đź“Ť Mount Gambier, SA | Thrive Therapy Co.

Are you ready to work in a role where your time is valued, your ideas matter, and you actually get to do the work that makes a difference?

At Thrive Therapy Co., we’re looking for either a passionate early-career OT ready to grow, or a mid-career OT who’s looking to take a sideways step into private practice—where flexibility, clinician wellbeing, and real community impact come first.

We’re a values-led, multidisciplinary team with modern systems, neurodiversity-affirming practice, and a whole lot of heart.

đź’Ľ The Role

  • Provide paediatric OT services to neurodivergent children and their families in a warm, flexible, and strengths-based setting

  • Work independently with strong clinical support and supervision

  • Deliver individual therapy, school/home visits (if needed), and co-facilitate groups or parent coaching sessions

  • Collaborate with speech pathologists, AHAs, and families to deliver high-quality, holistic care

đź’¸ Remuneration

  • Early career Occupational Therapist:
    $71,375 to $83,594 per annum (1.0 FTE) + 11.5% superannuation (pro-rata for part-time positions)

  • Mid-career Occupational Therapist:
    $88,255 to $102,240 per annum (1.0 FTE) + 11.5% superannuation (pro-rata for part-time positions)

  • Commission-style bonus when you exceed billable hour expectations

  • Generous PD allowance, flexibility, and a voice in how the clinic evolves

  • A multidisciplinary environment where OTs, speech pathologists, and AHAs work together to deliver holistic, family-centred care

  • A commitment to neurodiversity-affirming practice, inclusion, and ongoing learning
