This is a unique chance to join us at an exciting time of growth, where you'll not only support people with psychosocial disabilities to live meaningful and independent lives, but also help lay the foundations for a service that will expand and create leadership opportunities as we grow.
Based out of our Midland office and out on the road within the community and peoples homes, this role offers a salary of $114,000 per annum plus the added benefits of not-for-profit salary packaging. We are open to considering either part-time or full-time arrangements for the right candidate.
About the Role
As our first dedicated Mental Health OT Specialist, you'll play a vital role in supporting participants to achieve their goals, enhance daily functioning, and build capacity for community participation. You'll deliver person-centred, recovery-oriented services that align with NDIS plans and outcomes, while contributing to the development of a new service stream at MIFWA.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct functional capacity assessments and develop goal-driven therapy plans
- Deliver therapeutic interventions focused on emotional regulation, life skills, and community engagement
- Prepare high-quality reports to support NDIS funding requests and plan reviews
- Collaborate with participants, families, support coordinators, Recovery Coaches and other providers
- Maintain accurate documentation and contribute to continuous service improvement
- Build relationships with internal and external stake holders
What We're Looking For
We're seeking a motivated and capable Occupational Therapist who is ready to step into a pioneering role and help shape the future of mental health OT services at MIFWA. To succeed in this role, you'll bring:
- A degree in Occupational Therapy and current registration with AHPRA
- At least three years' experience as a practicing Occupational Therapist, ideally with a focus on mental health or psychosocial disability
- Demonstrated experience working with NDIS participants, particularly those with psychosocial disabilities
- A strong understanding of the NDIS framework, including functional assessments, goal setting, and capacity building
- Commitment to trauma-informed, strengths-based, and recovery-oriented practice
- Excellent communication, time management, and report-writing skills
- The ability to work independently while also contributing effectively within a multidisciplinary team
- Emerging or existing leadership capabilities, with the potential to support and mentor others as our OT service grows
What We Offer
At MIFWA, you'll be joining a values-driven organisation where your work makes a genuine difference in people's lives. We provide:
- Flexible working arrangements across office, home, and community settings
- A supportive, inclusive team culture where you'll feel valued and connected
- Ongoing supervision, professional development, and opportunities to grow your expertise
- Paid external supervision and full coverage of AHPRA registration fees
- Access to generous not-for-profit salary packaging up to $15,900 to increase your take-home pay
- Reimbursement for work-related travel
- The chance to shape and influence innovative mental health services within the NDIS framework, with scope for future leadership opportunities
