**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** Occupational Therapy

## Description

### Occupational Therapist | Adult Neurological Rehabilitation

### Western Melbourne | Wyndham Vale

**Full-time | Permanent | $85,000–$110,000 + super | 2+ years’ experience**

### Not your typical OT role

If neurological rehabilitation is where you want to deepen your clinical expertise, this is an opportunity to join a specialist allied health team where OT is much more than back-to-back appointments.

You’ll work with adults living with neurological conditions, helping them regain function, build independence and participate more fully in everyday life. Your work can move between a fully equipped rehabilitation clinic, a client’s home and the wider community, depending on what will genuinely achieve the best outcome for the person in front of you.

This is a **permanent, full-time role** within an established neurological rehabilitation service that has built its reputation around clinical support, professional development and a strong team culture.

### The caseload

The adult caseload is **more than 80% NDIS**, with the remainder including some aged care clients who will generally also have a neurological component to their presentation.

The service works with a broad range of neurological conditions, including presentations such as:

-   Stroke
-   Multiple sclerosis
-   Parkinson’s disease
-   Dementia
-   Cerebral palsy
-   Motor neurone disease
-   Huntington’s disease
-   Cognitive and neurological disorders
-   Balance and functional difficulties associated with neurological conditions

Psychosocial presentations are not accepted as the primary diagnosis.

### What you’ll actually be doing

Your clinical work may include:

-   Comprehensive functional assessments and retraining of everyday activities
-   Supporting clients to improve independence with personal care, meal preparation, routines, budgeting and community participation
-   Home assessments and modifications to improve safety and independence
-   Assistive technology assessment and prescription, from low-risk equipment through to complex wheelchairs and seating
-   Cognitive assessment and intervention targeting memory, concentration, problem-solving and functional performance
-   Upper-limb and hand rehabilitation
-   SDA and SIL assessments in the NDIS space
-   Education around energy conservation, work simplification, pain management and chronic condition management
-   Supporting families and carers with transfers, lifting and appropriate equipment
-   Working alongside a broader multidisciplinary team to deliver coordinated neurological rehabilitation

The service has fully equipped rehabilitation clinics with **private treatment rooms and large gym areas**, while therapists also provide home and community visits. You’ll have the autonomy to organise your own diary around what is most beneficial for each client.

### What you’ll bring

We’re looking for an OT who can step into an established neurological service and become productive without requiring a graduate-level onboarding program.

You’ll need:

-   **At least 2 years’ occupational therapy experience**
-   Full **AHPRA registration**
-   Experience working with NDIS participants and/or people living with neurological disability
-   Strong clinical reasoning and functional assessment skills
-   Confidence working independently across clinic and community environments
-   A genuine interest in neurological rehabilitation

New graduates are **not being considered for this agency-recruited position**.

### What’s in it for you?

The salary is **$85,000–$110,000 + super**, depending on experience, with a broader employee offering designed to provide more than just a base salary.

You’ll have access to:

-   **$1,500 external PD allowance**
-   Up to **3 days of study leave annually**
-   Free access to selected external professional development courses hosted by the organisation
-   Defined clinical career pathways, leadership opportunities and staff committees
-   Clinical supervision and structured support as you settle into the service
-   An incentive payment program linked to client activity
-   Company vehicle option for eligible full-time therapists
-   Laptop and phone provided
-   Flexible working arrangements, including the option to move towards a **9-day fortnight, 4.5-day week or 4-day week** once established in the role
-   Wellbeing leave and access to an Employee Assistance Program
-   Additional parental payment equivalent to a **6-week extension of the Government Parental Leave Pay scheme**
-   Regular funded social events and an annual gala
-   Access to clinic gyms outside working hours
-   Opportunities to contribute to neurological charity initiatives and team-led programs
-   An inclusive workplace that actively celebrates diversity and supports staff wellbeing
