Occupational Therapist

This business believes occupational rehabilitation works best when people feel genuinely seen, supported and understood. Their consultants work at the intersection of health, work and wellbeing, helping individuals regain confidence, purpose and sustainable function following injury, illness or psychological distress.

Due to continued growth in Toowoomba, they are expanding their multidisciplinary team and are seeking an Occupational Therapist at Consultant or Senior Consultant levels.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a “tick-the-box” rehabilitation role.

You will be trusted to think critically, work collaboratively and tailor your approach to each individual. You’ll have the autonomy to do your job properly, balanced with the support of an experienced leadership team who value quality outcomes over volume.

The business is intentionally growing, with strong investment in development, culture and sustainable workloads. KPIs are focused on customer service and responsiveness, not just billables.

You’ll be part of a highly connected, supportive team that maintains high standards while genuinely caring for one another, supported by a clear cultural philosophy.

The Opportunity

Based in Toowoomba, you’ll join a close-knit team that is continuing to grow, with a target of building a five-person local team as part of a broader strategic expansion.

You will manage a diverse and meaningful caseload across:

• Work Cover
  
• DVA
  
• Employer and early intervention services
  

Your work will span physical, psychosocial and workplace-based rehabilitation, supporting individuals through complex, real-life challenges and helping them return to work safely, confidently and sustainably.

You’ll work closely with injured workers, employers, insurers, medical practitioners and internal team members to ensure rehabilitation plans are practical, person-centred and aligned with best practice.

KPIs & Workload

• Intermediate OT: ~4.5 billable hours/day
  
• Senior OT: 5.5–6.15 billable hours/day
  

• Functional, workplace and activities of daily living assessments
  
• Ergonomic assessments and injury prevention education
  
• Identifying and problem-solving barriers to return to work
  
• Development and facilitation of tailored return-to-work plans
  
• End-to-end occupational rehabilitation case management
  
• Early intervention and pre-claims work
  
• Mental health programs, onsite workshops and leadership sessions
  
• Clear, timely reporting and regular stakeholder communication
  

This role combines clinical expertise, community engagement, professional service delivery and administrative responsibility, with strong systems and templates already in place.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re open to Intermediate and Senior OTs, and encourage applications from clinicians who value quality, growth and connection.

• Qualification in Occupational Therapy
  
• AHPRA registration (or eligibility)
  
• Ideally 2+ years’ experience, though less experience will be considered with the right attitude
  
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
  
• Excellent organisation and time management
  
• Confidence coordinating multiple stakeholders
  
• Curiosity, creativity and willingness to learn
  
• High integrity and professionalism
  
• A warm, empathetic and person-centred approach
  
• A collaborative mindset and genuine interest in people
  

This role suits someone comfortable being a jack-of-all-trades in a regional market, who is eager to develop their skills and to grow, build capability and potentially develop a specialism over time.

What You’ll Get In Return

• Structured, 3-month onboarding plan
  
• Ongoing professional development, supervision and case review
  
• Access to complex subject matter experts and established systems
  
• A diverse, interesting and sustainable caseload
