Greater Sydney Area, Australia Curious Minds Play Therapy Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

Company Description

Curious Minds is a values-driven paediatric practice that provides child-led, neuroaffirming support to children and their families. We believe that development thrives in safe, connected relationships, and our work is rooted in both evidence-based practice and a deep respect for each child's individual differences.

We support children across home, school, and community settings with a strong focus on functional outcomes, emotional wellbeing, and empowering caregivers through collaborative, culturally aware intervention. Our small, passionate team includes occupational therapists and allied health assistants, with weekly supervision and a commitment to ongoing learning and reflective practice.

At Curious Minds, we prioritise flexibility, autonomy, and a trauma-informed approach — not only in the way we support our clients, but also in how we nurture our team.

This role offers autonomy, meaningful work, and weekly supervision in a supportive and reflective environment. You'll be working independently, but never in isolation — our team prioritises connection, collaboration, and shared learning.

As part of this role, you will support children in their natural environments — homes, schools, and community settings — using neuroaffirming, relationship-based, and developmentally appropriate therapy practices.

  • Monitor client progress and adapt therapy approaches as needed
  • Complete accurate and timely documentation, including session notes, progress reports, and recommendations
  • Collaborate with families, schools, and other professionals to support holistic outcomes
  • Provide parent coaching and guidance on home-based strategies
  • Manage your own caseload and calendar
  • Participate in weekly supervision and team reflection sessions

Qualifications

Essential:

  • Degree qualification in Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, or Psychology
  • Current registration with AHPRA
  • Minimum 2 years paediatric clinical experience
  • Proven ability to work independently with confidence and clinical soundness
  • ABN and professional indemnity/public liability insurance
