Not another boring OT job ad. Promise.
Occupational Therapist – Community (South of the River)
Permanent full-time (76 hrs/fortnight) or part-time options available
New graduates encouraged to apply.

If you’re an OT, you already know how most roles end up feeling:
A bit repetitive.
A bit more admin than you signed up for.
A bit less growth than you hoped for.
A bit… underwhelming.

And somewhere between the reports, scheduling and “just make it work” days… you start wondering if there’s a role where the work actually feels interesting again — and lets you grow as a clinician.

If that sounds familiar, keep reading.

What if your OT role actually helped you grow?

At Brightwater, you work alongside physios, speech pathologists, dietitians, behavioural clinicians, support workers and neuro specialists every day.

So when you collaborate instead of operate in silo, things shift:

You learn more.
You grow faster.
And you stop plateauing.

You build the kind of multidisciplinary capability most OTs only get by juggling several roles.

Clients who make the work meaningful again

You’ll work with people whose needs are complex and purposeful — including ABI, Huntington’s Disease, Young Onset Dementia and cognitive or behavioural changes.

They remind you why you chose OT in the first place and help you grow in ways other roles simply can’t.
