About the role
Blue Wing Care is looking for an Occupational Therapist to join our allied health team in Cairns and Far North Queensland. You will work with NDIS participants who have complex and high-intensity support needs, in their homes, in supported living and out in the community, alongside support workers who already know them well.
Cairns is our newest region and this is a build role. You will shape how therapy runs in Far North Queensland rather than inherit how somebody else did it.
This is a role with a real caseload and real continuity. Our therapy team sits beside our supported living and core supports teams, so the people you assess are people we support every day, and the recommendations you write are carried out by colleagues you can actually talk to.
What you will do
- Assess function, environment and equipment needs, and write the reports that fund them
- Prescribe and review assistive technology, home modifications and equipment
- Build capacity in daily living, access and participation against each participant's own goals
- Work with support workers and Service Coordinators so a plan is followed rather than filed
- Keep clinical notes and documentation to NDIS Practice Standards
What you bring
- Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
- A current Australian driver's licence and a roadworthy, insured vehicle
- A valid NDIS Worker Screening clearance
- A valid Blue Card
- First Aid and CPR training, or willingness to complete it
New graduates are welcome. We would rather supervise properly than hire late.
What we offer
- A clear, realistic billable expectation you will know before you start, not discover in month three
- Supervision from clinicians who carry a caseload themselves
- A growing allied health team inside a provider whose core business is complex support, so therapy is a priority rather than an add-on
