If you are keen to join a team of fun, friendly, enthusiastic and very special Occupational Therapists and speech pathologists, we could well be the team for you! Spot is a neurodiversity affirming, airway focused practice. We utilize relationship-based therapy approaches and we believe understanding identity is the key to meaningful occupation and well-being.
Spot Therapy Hub was founded by dual qualified Director, Kate Broderick. It's been a Hub of friendship and professional development for Occupational Therapists at various stages in their career, for nearly 20 years. We welcome experienced therapists and new graduates, who can expect support with lots of early career PD, and weekly supervision. We are an inclusive workplace & celebrate diversity amongst our team. We are always listening and working hard to provide a fulfilling workplace that enables flexibility and work-life balance.
Spot supports a mix of private clients and NDIS participants and while we are a predominantly paediatric service, we do support young adults and some adults in other life stages if their goals align with our team's experience. Our OTs work very closely with Spot's Speechies so that we can target goals including shared attention, regulation, communication (including AAC) and life skills, with a robust integrated approach.
Spot has always been known for its strong interest in learning disabilities, so clinicians who have (or would like to develop) experience in supporting students with Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia, are welcomed! These profiles go hand in hand with ADD/ADHD, and we're passionate about supporting neurodivergent people throughout the lifespan.
Spot Occupational Therapists are always exercising their core skills (for example, helping clients with fine and gross motor skill development, school readiness, handwriting, visual perception and self care), but we also have a reputation for more specialised offerings. If you would like to develop skills and experience in feeding therapy, this job will also be a perfect opportunity.
All Spot staff have weekly supervision, with more support available to early career clinicians. We have a strong ethic towards professional development (internal and external), and hope to offer new team members a plan for career progression that they feel excited about.
If you are based in Sydney then we would welcome you at our Bondi Junction, Waverley or Norwest clinics. We do offer community based services, most often in schools or preschools, but try to be flexible in offering staff a role that suits their preferences. Spot was a founding telehealth practice and there are opportunities to work from home if you wish.
