• Support clients through education, tailored therapy plans, and ongoing follow-up.

• Work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team to maximise clients' skills and promote safe, independent living.

• Liaise with families and carers to provide guidance on effective support strategies.

• Maintain accurate documentation, client statistics, and reporting in line with organisational and professional standards.

• Contribute to continuous improvement, service development, and quality initiatives.

• Participate in supervision of students and support staff where required.

• Promote safety and wellbeing by adhering to OH&S policies and best practice.

Requirements

Essential:

• Bachelor of Applied Science (Occupational Therapy) or equivalent recognised qualification.

• Registration with relevant professional bodies.

• Demonstrated ability to assess, implement, and evaluate therapeutic interventions.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.

• Commitment to delivering high-quality care for older people and individuals living with disability.

• Current Driver Licence.

The ideal candidate would be based in Tasmania.

Desirable:

• Experience in community-based OT, home care, or aged care settings.

• Knowledge of assistive technology, functional assessments, and home modifications.

• Experience in client education, carer liaison, or health promotion.

• Ability to contribute to service planning and development.

• Work within a supportive, multidisciplinary environment that values collaboration and client-centred practice.

• Access ongoing training, professional development, and opportunities for career progression.

• Be part of a culture where respect, care, teamwork, and innovation guide everything we do.

This is more than a clinical role - it's an opportunity to create meaningful change in the lives of clients and their families by supporting them to live independently and safely at home.
