Occupational Therapist – New Graduate or Early Career

Adelaide-based role offering structured mentoring, a varied caseload, and clear career pathways. Open to new graduates or clinicians with 1–2 years of experience. Full-time, part-time, or casual with grad-friendly mentorship.

From across-the-lifespan therapy to driving assessments, functional capacity evaluations (FCEs), assistive technology (AT), home modifications, capacity building and goal setting, you'll find variety without being overwhelmed. You'll be supported by an experienced Lead OT and a tight-knit team who care about your development as much as client outcomes.

Why You'll Love This Role

  • $1,000 sign-on bonus (pro-rata, paid post-probation)
  • 5 weeks annual leave + your birthday off
  • Weekly 1:1 mentoring with a Lead OT + structured internal/external PD
  • Grad-friendly caseload with admin support, manageable targets, and a broad mix of clinic, home, school & community
  • Flexible work conditions, including work-from-home options
  • Supportive, collaborative culture with genuine career pathways

And of course — the Adelaide lifestyle: easy commutes, affordable living, beaches and wine country nearby.
