About the Opportunity:

Are you a Senior OT who thrives on being busy, solving complex challenges, and leading others? At Praktis Allied Health, we're looking for a Senior Occupational Therapist with a strong sense of service, modern thinking, and the ability to motivate and support our growing team.

This is more than a clinical role — it's a chance to step into leadership, service development, and career progression with a supportive, OT-owned practice.
 
 
Key Responsibilities:
 
In this senior role, you will:

• Provide evidence-based OT services across diverse settings — homes, schools, workplaces, aged care and the community.
• Manage complex cases, including trauma, psychosocial disability and high-level functional needs.
• Deliver specialist assessments such as assistive technology, home modifications, and return-to-work assessments.
• Support clients across multiple funding streams including NDIS, aged care, DVA, Return to Work, compensation schemes and private payers.
• Lead by example — mentor, supervise, and inspire junior staff, creating a culture of excellence.
• Contribute to service development, innovation, networking and business development, helping to expand our growing referral base.

 
To be successful in this role:  
 
We're seeking a highly skilled, motivated OT who brings both clinical expertise and leadership qualities to the role. You will be:

• Qualified & Registered - Holding a degree in Occupational Therapy and current registration with AHPRA.
• Clinically Experienced - With minimum 5 years' experience managing complex caseloads, including autism, trauma, disability, psychosocial complexities, and clients facing complex social situations. You know how to remain calm, professional, and solutions-focused in challenging circumstances.
• Specialist Knowledge - Experience across diverse areas such as mental health, autism, neurological conditions and disability services, with an understanding of how to respond to the effects of trauma on behaviour and wellbeing.
• Resilient & Organised - A natural "doer" who thrives on being busy, can multitask effectively, and has strong time management to keep multiple priorities moving!
• Leader & Mentor - Passionate about guiding graduates and OTs, supporting allied health assistants, and fostering growth and capability in others.
• Service-Driven - A strong communicator with excellent interpersonal skills, committed to providing client-focused, ethical, and high-quality services.
• Modern Thinker - Embraces innovation, systems-based approaches, and continuous improvement to drive better outcomes for both clients and the team.
• A team player who also thrives working independently, with the trust and autonomy to manage your own diary.

  
Why join Praktis Allied Health?

• OT-Owned & OT-Focused - Work in a business built by OTs, for OTs, with directors who have deep clinical experience and strong industry connections and representation.
• Flexibility & Lifestyle - Permanent Full-time role, with part-time options available. Full flexibility to work within your schedule, and managing your own day. Enjoy beautiful modern offices in the heart of Norwood, plus the option to work from home.
• Variety & Impact - Diverse caseloads including mental health, autism, neurological conditions, trauma, psychosocial complexity, and even hospital in-reach services.
• Career Progression - Genuine opportunities to step into leadership, contribute to service development, and support business growth as our referral base continues to expand.
• Support & Mentoring - Structured onboarding, regular supervision, and opportunities to mentor graduate OTs, students and allied health assistants.
• Strong Systems - Access to excellent IT platforms and practice management software, giving you the freedom to focus on your clients while managing your own diary with autonomy.
• Community & Culture - A service-driven, compassionate workplace where trust, collaboration, inclusion and professionalism are at the heart of everything we do.

If you're passionate about helping people who face some of life's biggest challenges, this role is for you. You'll be supporting clients with complex needs and navigating important social justice issues — work that is meaningful, rewarding, and truly makes a difference.
 
If that inspires and drives you, we'd love to hear from you.
