Glen Waverley, Australia Scope (Aust) Ltd Full time

About Scope

Scope’s purpose is to create meaningful opportunities for people with disability to belong and thrive. We support people with physical, intellectual and multiple disabilities and developmental delays to achieve their goals Scope is a registered provider under the NDIS and delivers a range of services including supported independent living, short term accommodation (respite), lifestyle options and therapy across 100 locations in Victoria.

About The Role

We are a passionate, cohesive team of allied health professionals who provide therapy to customers with disability across Victoria. We provide person-centred interventions for people with a wide range of diagnoses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Global Developmental Delay, Cerebral Palsy, and Intellectual Disability.

We have a vacancy for a person-centred and caring OT with an interest in equipment provision and capacity building.  This is not primarily an NDIS position.  You will be working primarily with adults and children of school age.  This position offers both a varied caseload and the opportunity to specialise in your preferred areas. 

This role is based in the South East suburbs of Melbourne.  You will:

  • Support schools to deliver inclusive education to children with disability
  • Provide equipment and therapy supports for older adults with complex disability

Opportunities exist to develop this caseload further, and work with young children and families and/or NDIS participants in clinic and in the community.

This position would suit an OT with a passion for inclusion and assistive technology.  As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will have the opportunity to build strong relationships with families, schools and service providers.  You will have the opportunity to build inclusive communities for people of all ages.

This position offers work-life flexibility, including the option to work some days from home, negotiable hours and a team that understands that you have commitments outside of work. 

Draw on the knowledge and skills of a large, highly-skilled state-wide team, and the support of a small, close knit local team.
