About Us Therapies For Kids is a place where both children and staff are supported to reach their full potential. We have three clinics, two in Sydney's Inner West and one in the beautiful Riverina. It's the diversity of clients we see that makes us truly unique, including children with cerebral palsy, autism, developmental delay as well as typically developing children. Our families love our tailored services that address what they actually want to achieve rather than working to a formula.
The Role This role is based in Sydney's vibrant Inner West. It is predominantly clinic-based with the occasional community visit to schools, daycare or family homes. Ideally, you will be available to work fortnightly Saturdays.
