Discover your passion for paediatric occupational therapy and join an organisation that makes a difference and enjoy the benefits of a well-structured organisation that enriches the lives of children with a disability or learning disorder. Grace Children's Therapy is an established practice, serving the Sydney Hills District for over 15 years. Based in Castle Hill (NSW).
We are continuously growing and looking for new and innovative ways to engage the kids and families that attend our practice. If you're a therapist looking for a role that offers variety with running group programs, conducting home and community or school visits, or Telehealth and centre-based appointments, this is a role worth considering.
If you are an occupational therapist and have completed your training as a feeding therapist in the SOS Approach, this could be a wonderful opportunity to utilise your training. We have been operating our feeding therapy programs for over 7 years and have an established program and established reputation for delivering the world-renowned SOS Approach to Feeding. We run both group and individual sessions based on the complexity of the children. If you've been SOS trained and never had the opportunity to utilise your training and are passionate about helping children with sensory feeding aversions, this could be the role you've been looking for.
The role includes both working with our general population of youth that requires occupational therapy (individual and group sessions) but also delivering the SOS program to groups and individuals on our feeding clinic day/s.
We offer our team members a friendly work environment, weekly ongoing learning and development, regular team meetings, frequent supervision using a buddy system, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a laptop, and access to many resources.
