Occupational Therapist Opportunities - Newcastle Region

A well-established, privately owned multidisciplinary practice is seeking Occupational Therapists to join its growing team. For more than 20 years, the organisation has delivered high-quality Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy services across the Newcastle region, supporting a diverse caseload including Adult and Paediatric NDIS participants, DVA, aged care, CTP, and Lifetime Care clients.

The team of 15 maintains an ideal blend of professionalism, collaboration, and genuine camaraderie. It's a workplace where people support each other, communicate openly, and enjoy coming to work each day.

Purposeful Work + Real Flexibility

This practice offers meaningful clinical variety, strong connection, and autonomy-avoiding the repetition, isolation, or lack of support that can occur elsewhere.

Customised Incentives

Incentives are tailored to individual goals-whether that's enhanced PD, bonus structures, or other customised benefits aligned with your professional development.

When unexpected illness or personal situations arise, extra personal leave is available to reduce pressure and support your wellbeing.

Strong Clinical & Administrative Support

You'll be supported by:

  • Clinical Leads
  • Admin Assistants
  • An Allied Health Assistant
  • A Practice Manager who ensures smooth operations
  • A Director who remains clinically engaged

A Culture That Actually Matters

The workplace values:

  • Open communication and shared learning
  • Respect for different clinical perspectives

  • Genuine, positive rapport

You will bring:

  • Current AHPRA registration
  • Valid driver's licence, reliable vehicle, and full Australian working rights
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Excellent time-management and organisational capability
  • Comfort working both independently and within a collaborative multidisciplinary team

Job Experience
