Occupational Therapist, OT | Work from home

Description

Umbo is a social enterprise created to solve a huge problem – the lack of speech and occupational therapy across Australia. At Umbo, we believe that despite where you live, no one should be forced to wait 18 months to access vital health care. We are passionate and dedicated to our purpose. 

We're looking for occupational therapists to deliver services online, via video link, all from the comfort of your own home. We don't need you to be overly experienced with telehealth. We need you to be as passionate about this issue as we are. We need you to want to learn, and maintain high quality services.

As a contractor you will be able to work flexibly and determine your work hours and days - from 15 hours per week up to full-time. You can fit your Umbo work around other commitments you have, including another job, study or childcare responsibilities.

As an online role, you can perform this role from any location, not just the location advertised on Seek.

Currently, we are actively recruiting paediatric or generalist occupational therapists who can see clients across the age spectrum. If you are a specialist adults occupational therapist, you are welcome to apply, and your details will be added to our recruitment pool for when we are actively recruiting this role.
