Senior Occupational Therapist - Remote

Help build the future of OT at Pop Family

At Pop Family, we believe every Australian deserves access to exceptional allied health care, no matter where they live. We’re now bringing that same telehealth model to Occupational Therapy and we’re looking for a passionate, experienced Senior OT to be one of the founding members of our OT team..

This is a rare opportunity to shape a brand-new clinical service: you’ll confidently manage a generalist paediatric caseload,  mentor the junior clinician who joins alongside you, and lead our capability in NDIS Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) – a service our existing clients urgently need to secure their ongoing NDIS funding.

Salary: $110,000 – $115,000

Why Pop?

We know that exceptional client outcomes start with excellent clinicians, so we’ve created an environment where you’ll be supported, challenged and empowered to do your best work.

• Professional development that grows with you: an annual PD allowance, paid PD leave, a personalised learning plan, and external supervision with a relevant Occupational Therapist.
• Everything you need to succeed: a company laptop, resource box, subscription allowance, home office and data allowance, and dedicated IT support.
• Paid parental leave: available after 12 months of employment, because family matters.
• Performance-based bonuses: for clinicians who exceed their clinical targets, on top of a competitive salary.
• Genuine flexibility: work from home, from anywhere in Australia, while staying connected through team huddles, regular supervision, and in-person social events throughout the year.
• Admin support: Heidi Healthto help you manage your caseload and complete your documentation. Our administration team completes your billing for you!

Everything we do is guided by our values of Excellence, Holistic Care, Courage, Ownership and Providing Value.

About the Role

You’ll manage a varied caseload of both private and NDIS clients, delivered entirely via telehealth, working with children and adults across; emotional regulation, sensory processing, feeding therapy and other generalist areas.  You will complete functional capacity assessment for NDIS purposes.

As our senior clinician, you’ll take the lead on FCA report writing and clinical quality, contribute to our clinical SOP manual and QA processes, and provide day to day clinical guidance and informal mentoring to our junior OT as they build their skills.

You’ll work alongside Pop’s existing team, including 80+ Speech Pathologists to deliver holistic, collaborative care, and you’ll have direct input into how our OT service, and clinical resources are set up as the team grows.
