Flexibility with structure. Autonomy with real support.
Better Rehab is clinician-founded and clinician-led. Our leaders understand the realities of clinical work because they’ve lived it. That means realistic expectations, genuine flexibility and a workplace designed for long-term, sustainable careers.
We're looking for a passionate and motivated Occupational Therapist to join our friendly Newcastle team in a flexible hybrid role that combines clinic-based appointments, community visits and up to three days per week working from home.
Based in our modern office just a five-minute drive from the beach, you'll have no shortage of great coffee and lunch spots to enjoy between appointments. You'll be joining a supportive and social team that genuinely enjoys spending time together, whether that's collaborating in the office or heading off on our annual Hunter Valley wine tour!
With a diverse caseload across both NDIS and Support at Home, you'll have the opportunity to develop your skills across a broad range of occupational therapy services, including assistive technology, home modifications, functional assessments and ongoing therapy to support clients of all ages to achieve their goals.
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.
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:
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:
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.
