Occupational Therapist | Community NDIS

Occupational Therapist | Community NDIS

Location: Sydney, NSW (Miranda area, with mobile work across home, school and community settings)

The role Plenty of NDIS roles leave you working in a corner of a very large organisation. This is a smaller, close knit multidisciplinary practice where OTs work alongside speech pathologists, physios, psychologists and support coordinators, so you can pick up the phone to the person next door instead of writing a referral. The practice sees people of all ages and meets them where it suits them: in the clinic, at home, at school, at a day program or in the community. This is a permanent role, and the practice isn’t taking on contractors at this stage.
