About You

You’re an experienced Occupational Therapist who is passionate about the role occupation can play in mental health recovery. You enjoy working alongside consumers in their own environments, understanding what matters to them and translating this into practical, meaningful interventions that support independence, participation and recovery.

As a senior clinician, you bring confidence in your clinical practice while remaining curious, reflective and open to new ideas. You’re someone who enjoys sharing your knowledge, supporting others and contributing to the ongoing development of Occupational Therapy within a multidisciplinary mental health team.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Bring strong experience in community mental health and a sound understanding of recovery-oriented, person-centred practice
• Have well-developed assessment, clinical reasoning and therapeutic intervention skills when working with adults experiencing complex mental health challenges

• Enjoy providing clinical leadership, sharing your expertise and supporting the development of other clinicians
• Build strong, respectful relationships with consumers, families, carers and external partners, including NDIS providers
• Bring initiative, curiosity and ideas for improving practice and contributing to service development
