Occupational Therapist, Perth & Regional WA

About the role

Opal Therapy is looking for an Occupational Therapist to join our growing team and step into an established caseload. This role suits an OT who enjoys variety, wants more autonomy, and is looking for a workplace where quality therapy and genuine client outcomes are prioritised over unrealistic KPIs.

You'll work with children, adolescents and adults in the places where they spend their day-to-day lives: homes, schools and community settings. The work spans everyday routines and independence, school participation, emotional regulation, functional skills, assistive technology, and practical strategies for families and carers. We also visit communities across the Wheatbelt and Kimberley, which keeps the role varied.

You'll have room to shape your caseload around your strengths, whether that's paediatrics, functional assessment, assistive technology, adult disability, school-based therapy, or a mix. You will also help shape our systems, resources and future clinical pathways as we grow.

What we offer

• $100,000–$120,000 + super, based on experience
• An immediate, established caseload ready to go
• Flexible work options: full-time or part-time
• Travel reimbursement
• CPD allowance and professional development leave
• Laptop, work phone and therapy resources provided
• Realistic caseload expectations, with no high-volume, burnout-style targets
• Supportive systems, templates and clinical resources
• Optional rural outreach to the Wheatbelt and Kimberley

About you

We're looking for an OT who is clinically thoughtful, organised, warm and easy to approach, and confident working independently in the community.

• Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
• Ideally 2–3+ years of clinical OT experience
• Experience or strong interest in paediatrics, disability, NDIS and/or community OT
• Confidence working in homes, schools and community settings
• Strong written communication and report-writing skills
• Ability to manage a caseload with appropriate support
• Current C Class driver's licence and suitable vehicle
• Working with Children Check
• NDIS Worker Screening Check / Police Clearance Check
• Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Why this role is different

This is not a high-volume, burnout-style role. We're building a service where therapists have the time, flexibility and support to do meaningful work properly. You'll have autonomy, but you won't be left without systems. You'll have a caseload, but not an unrealistic one. And you'll have room to grow, contribute and help shape the future of the practice.
