About the Role

As an Occupational Therapist at Little Sparrows Therapy, you’ll manage a diverse paediatric caseload across clinic, home, school, and community settings, supported by an experienced multidisciplinary team (OT, Speech, and Physio).

All while growing your skills through collaborative practice and 1-on-1 professional mentoring from a senior occupational therapist. This role suits an Occupational Therapist who is looking to join a close-knit team that values collaboration and lifelong learning.

• Deliver assessment and therapy for children with sensory, fine motor, and self-care challenges

• Work collaboratively with families, educators, and allied health professionals to create meaningful outcomes

• Contribute to team case reviews, clinical projects, and continuous improvement initiatives

• Manage your own schedule with flexibility and strong administrative support

• Participate in professional development to grow your expertise and confidence
