Occupational Therapist & New Graduate Roles

Join the Village. Grow Your Career. Stay Playful.

At Little Village Therapy, we believe development doesn’t start at a milestone—it starts from day one. We are a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, sensory-trained team walking alongside families through the messy, magical, snack-filled world of childhood.

We’ve built a brand-new, light-filled clinic in the heart of the Sutherland Shire designed for connection, and we’re looking for OTs (both experienced and New Grads) who are ready to make a real difference—one co-regulation moment at a time.

Why You’ll Love the Village Life

We aren't your typical clinical grind. We are OT-owned and OT-led, which means we actually "get it"—the NDIS juggle, the report writing, and the need for a coffee break.

• ð± Start Strong: A structured Graduate Program with intensive mentoring and supervision.

• ð Real Balance: Choose your rhythm with flexible hours, 9-day fortnights, and a sustainable 45-minute session structure that leaves actual room for admin.

• ð¨ Shape Your Path: Don't get stuck in a box. Customize your caseload around your specific passions and clinical strengths.

• ð§ Deep Support: Weekly/fortnightly internal supervision, external mentoring, and a generous individual PD budget.

• ð Culture That Clicks: Daily huddles to swap resources, brainstorm tricky cases, and celebrate the small wins with a quirky, supportive team.

• ð The Location: Work where you play—close to the beaches, cafes, and leafy walks of the Shire.

The Role

You won't be siloed. You’ll be part of a crew of OTs, AHAs, and admin legends working across clinic, school, and home environments.

• Deliver neuroaffirming therapy sessions, groups, and parent workshops.

• Collaborate with families and educators to set goals that actually matter to the child.

• Innovate: Contribute to new programs or community resources within your first 6 months.

• Maintain your own wellbeing—we value quality of care over hitting impossible KPIs.

Perks That Actually Count

• PD Allowance + 2 Extra PD Days: Dedicated time off for your own professional interests.

• 4 Team PD Days Per Year: We close the clinic to learn, reflect, and grow together.

• Manageable Caseload: Aiming for ~25 client hours per week (Full-Time) to prevent burnout.

• The Tools You Need: A beautiful, resource-rich workspace designed for sensory integration.

What You’ll Bring

We hire for heart and mindset first. We can teach the clinical skills; we can’t teach the "spark."

• Curiosity & Creativity: A genuine love for the "play" in Paediatric OT.

• Growth Mindset: Confidence (or a hunger to learn) in sensory integration and regulation frameworks.

• Collaboration: A desire to work with families, not just for them.

The Essentials:

• Degree in Occupational Therapy & AHPRA Registration.

• Current WWCC, Driver’s Licence, and a reliable car.
