Multiple Occupational Therapist Opportunities, Hunter Valley NSW

We’re recruiting now and throughout 2026 as our Allied Health team continues to grow. We’re an established multidisciplinary team of OT, Physio, Podiatry, and Speech Pathology, supporting clients across all ages and funding streams.

We know many OTs enjoy or specialise in broader practice areas. Adult, Aged Care, and NDIS Occupational Therapy are core areas of expertise for our service, and we’re open to clinicians with experience or interest in:

• Home modifications and aids/equipment prescription
• Aged Care and NDIS capacity building
• Senior OT functions such as mentoring, clinical oversight, and service innovation

At the same time we are experiencing a rising demand for Paediatric Occupational Therapy. Our Speech Pathology service has deep experience in paediatrics, and we’re now ready to expand this by welcoming a Paediatric Occupational Therapist to help shape and deliver a strong paeds offering.

You can join us with a paediatric focus, or lean into our established adult/Aged Care/NDIS pathways, to build a caseload that fits your strengths.

If flexible work, supportive collaboration, and meaningful impact sound like your kind of adventure, we’d love to talk about the path that suits you best.

New graduates and experienced OTs are equally encouraged to apply. Reach out via Hunter Recruitment Group today.
