Occupational Therapist

Roles & Goals Therapy Services is a small paediatric therapy practice based in the Northern suburbs of Adelaide. We provide occupational therapy and clinical counselling supports to children, young people and families across clinic, school, home and community settings.

This role involves providing OT supports to children and young people across a mix of settings. You will work with children with a range of developmental, sensory, emotional regulation, motor, functional and participation-based needs.

We are open to hearing from Occupational Therapists at different stages of their career, including new graduates, early career clinicians and experienced therapists who are interested in paediatrics.

Some paediatric, disability or community-based experience would be highly regarded, but the right values, attitude and willingness to learn are just as important to us.
