Occupational Therapist

Join a Crew that Celebrates Wins Together and has Each Other’s Backs 
 
“What I love most about Better Rehab is it gives OTs an opportunity to manage diverse caseloads and develop our clinical skills. We have excellent clinical supervision structures and opportunities for peer to peer support. These opportunists combined with our significant Better Rewards benefits and flexible working arrangements ensure a positive and supportive team culture.”
Jack Beer – OT Team Lead
 
Joining our Penrith team, you’ll experience a varied caseload that includes developmental and acquired disabilities across the lifespan. Located in the Werrington Park Corporate Centre, enjoy a bushland oasis with wildlife, parkland, and a lake for lunchtime strolls. Just a 15-minute drive to The East Banks for team social events like aqua golf, bowling, escape rooms, and dining.
 
Day-to-day you will: 

• Conduct meaningful assessments and design impactful therapy plans in diverse environments, from participants’ homes to day centres, parks, and even at the beach 
• Build enduring relationships with clients and witness the lasting impact of your work. 
• Innovate and Collaborate: Whether you’re dealing with complex cases, exploring new treatment approaches, or facing professional challenges, you’ll have a whole multidisciplinary team in your corner.    

What makes us Better?  

For starters, we’re clinician-led at every level, all the way to the top, so we know what it’s like being in the trenches of care. We’ve built the kind of workplace we always wished existed. Where we don’t just say we trust our clinicians – we show it. A community built by clinicians, for clinicians. 

Our Values 

• We Get Sh*t Done! 
• We are People People 
• Love What You Do 
• Frankly, we Give a Damn 
• We Value Ourselves   

We Back You 
   
We’re committed to helping you grow as a clinician or as a leader yourself. Our mentoring pathway isn’t just about moving up; it’s about developing the full spectrum of skills you need to succeed and take on new opportunities including: 

• Support and Supervision: You’ll be surrounded by colleagues who support you through challenges and an experienced and dedicated 1:1 Supervisor to guide you. 
• Professional Development: Access to an extensive internal PD schedule + a personal budget. 
• Study Leave: 4 full days paid study leave per calendar year. 
• Resources: The works- laptop, phone + all of our sites have therapy and assessment resources ready to grab and go.  

Freedom to Work Your Way  

We’ve created an environment where you can personalise your work style and schedule. Want to split your time between online, in-clinic and community work? We’re here to prioritise whatever makes you the best clinician you can be with: 

• Better Flex Policy: Flexible hours and the opportunity to flex off when you’ve completed your client work! 
• Clear KPIs: Realistic, achievable and sustainable monthly targets. 
• Better Rewards Program: Earn bonus pay or extra leave, or redeem points for PD, gadgets and experiences! 
• Paid Parental Leave:  8 weeks for the primary carer and 2 for the secondary carer. 
• Travel Reimbursement: Work-related travel paid monthly at 92c per KM. 
• National Opportunities across 30 Australian sites.    

About You:
 
We’re after OT’s who get restless when they see room for improvement and aren’t afraid to speak up about it. Who have a fire in their belly about participant care and treat participant goals like personal missions, not just checkboxes on a form. 
The ones who have the courage to challenge ideas (yes, even ours) when participant’s interests are at stake. 
If this sounds like you, we might just be right for each other. 

You will also hold:

• Full AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist – limited may be considered on a case by case basis 
• A valid driver’s license and personal vehicle 
• An NDIS check, Working with Children Check, and Police Check (or willing to obtain) 
• A degree in Occupational Therapy

Onshore applicants seeking sponsorship will be considered
