    Carpentaria is a not-for-profit organisation providing disability and therapy services for children, adolescents and adults in the Northern Territory. We deliver innovative and flexible services to empower people to thrive and live a great life, and we are committed to a philosophy that respects the rights of individuals to make informed choices about their lives.

    About the role

    Carpentaria has an exciting opportunity for an Occupational Therapist to join our dynamic multi-disciplinary team. In this role you will work collaboratively with clients and stakeholders to deliver person-centred services to enhance participation and independence, empowering people with a disability to live a full life and achieve their goals. 

    We have positions available in both Darwin and Alice Springs, with the opportunity to also be part of our remote clinical team and deliver Occupational Therapy services across remote communities in the Top End and Central Australia. 

    Responsibilities include:

    • Working in a culturally diverse environment, providing contemporary, evidence-based Occupational Therapy services, including assessment, individualised treatment planning and evaluation for people presenting with a wide range of conditions and syndromes
    • Provide independent, specialist and clinical input into treatment planning, development and delivery of core business
    • Working collaboratively with families/caregivers to assess, plan, implement and review targeted and meaningful developmental therapy
    • Leading and contributing to the development of individual and group programs within Carpentaria Therapy Service areas

    About you

    This position is open to candidates seeking either full-time or part-time employment. We are looking for someone with experience in the delivery of Occupational Therapy services within a disability sector context, with the ability to develop individualised strategies and clinical management plans that are responsive to the person’s needs and in line with their goals.

    You will have a positive attitude and be adaptive and flexible to the changing needs of clients, NDIS and the organisation. Throughout your work you will build on strengths, and where challenges arise, you will approach them collaboratively, in partnership with families, carers, teachers and colleagues.

    In addition, you will be able to demonstrate:

    • Tertiary qualification in Occupational Therapy and current AHPRA registration
    • Experience working with people with complex needs and challenging behaviours
    • Well-developed interpersonal, communication, negotiation and influencing skills
    • Experience in implementing evidence-based frameworks and delivering holistic supports
    • An understanding of working within the NDIS environment

    You will also need to hold (or have the ability to obtain) a current Ochre Card, Criminal History Check, NDIS Worker Screening Clearance, First Aid certificate, evidence of Australian work rights, and an NT Drivers Licence.

    Why work with us?

    We provide a positive work environment that encourages and promotes work/life balance, a sense of humour and having fun. In this role you will work with an awesome team who will encourage and inspire you to develop and progress your skills and career, whilst supporting Territorians with disabilities to live their best life. 

    This position offers a fantastic opportunity to progress your career in the disability field, with opportunities for ongoing clinical support, supervision, leadership and professional development.

    We value our teams, and our employees enjoy a range of benefits including:

    • Competitive salary
    • Salary packaging available (equivalent of up to $6,400 additional salary) 
    • 5 weeks annual leave + 17.5% leave loading

    • Relocation assistance available for interstate candidates
    • Comprehensive induction program and shadowing of all disciplines
    • Flexible work arrangements
    • Latest technology including iPad, laptop, sit-stand dual screen workstation, and high quality therapy assessment resources 
    • Access to internal professional development mentoring and resources (including case meetings, team projects, specialist interest groups) 
    • Support to access PHN Professional Development grants
    • Opportunity to be part of our remote clinical team and deliver speech pathology services across remote NT communities
    • Access to employee discounts and wellness benefits
