Senior Occupational Therapist

Neurodivergent-led, an adolescent and adult caseload, and the seniority to shape how the service grows — with your notes and reports written in paid hours.

• Neurodivergent-Led Team — Adolescents and Adults, Not a Paediatric Caseload
• Notes, Reports and Supervision Happen Inside Paid Hours
• Senior Scope to Build the Service and Supervise the Team

Shift & Co. is a neurodivergent-led organisation supporting neurodivergent people across Canberra. We generally work with adolescents and adults aged 12+ — through 1:1 OT, functional capacity and sensory assessments, and practical support with everyday life.\

• Bring an OT lens to team learning and multidisciplinary discussion

What we offer

• $110,000 – $125,000 + 12% super, depending on experience
• A realistic caseload — notes, planning and supervision happen in paid hours, not your evenings
• Paid non-client time — documentation, planning and resource creation sit inside rostered hours
• Dedicated project time to build or specialise in an area of practice you care about
• Real flexibility: part-time, school hours, compressed weeks, work from home for reporting
• Admin support for scheduling and intake
• PD allowance and paid PD days
• Clinical autonomy — you manage your caseload and recommendations with the independence your experience warrants

What we're looking for:

• AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist

• Solid experience with FCAs and NDIS report writing

• Experience with neurodivergent adolescents or adults highly regarded

• Interest in supervision, or willingness to grow into it

• A genuine commitment to neurodiversity-affirming practice
