Description

Forest Lake, QLD | Full-time, part-time, casual or sub-contract | $80,000–$130,000 + super

Space to Grow is a paediatric and adult Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy clinic based in Forest Lake, and one of only a handful of dedicated allied health therapy services in the area.

We work with children, young people and adults across neurological, behavioural and developmental needs. Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based and play-based, with a focus on creating a safe space for children and their families to grow.

At Space to Grow, we take looking after our clients and families seriously and this includes you. 

That means having a say in your caseload. Having time to actually finish your notes. Being able to speak up when you're stretched. Having colleagues who notice when you've had a big day. And working somewhere that knows how to play and have fun! :)

What we offer:

• Salary $80,000–$130,000 + super, depending on experience and negotiable for the right person
• Sign-on bonus, paid half on commencement and half after probation
• Relocation assistance for the right interstate or out-of-area candidate
• Sub-contractor option with an attractive percentage split, if that suits you better
• $1,500 annual PD budget + dedicated PD leave days (full-time employees)
• Performance bonus: meet and exceed your KPIs and share the upside as cash, extra leave, or gift cards, your choice
• A paid day off for your birthday
• Kilometre reimbursement for home, daycare and school visits
• Autonomy over your calendar and your caseload

What makes us different?

• Consistent Mentorship. You'll receive consistent supervision from a clinician with 20+ years' experience. Whether you're a new grad finding your feet or 1–2 years in and ready for more autonomy, you'll have someone in your corner.
• We protect your time. One hour of protected admin time every Friday afternoon, plus billable time built in for notes and planning.
• You choose how you work. Full-time, part-time, casual, or sub-contract with an attractive percentage split, whatever suits your life right now.
  
• Well-resourced clinic, easy days. Furnished and fully equipped therapy rooms, parking out front, and a bakery next door for the days that require emergency pastries.
   

The role:

• Comprehensive OT assessment and ongoing therapy
• Working collaboratively with families and our multidisciplinary team
• Clinic, home, school and daycare visits
• Regular supervision and mentoring built into your work
• Developing a caseload that reflects your interests and strengths
• Genuine input into how our services evolve as Space to Grow continues to grow
