Northern Adelaide Local Health Network (NALHN) is eager to recruit Occupational Therapists to work in our dynamic, growing and supportive team, to help us deliver exceptional care to our community.

As an Occupational Therapist, you will play a pivotal role in enabling individuals to achieve their optimal level of independence and well-being. You will assess, plan and implement tailored interventions to address physical, cognitive and psychosocial challenges, empowering clients to overcome barriers and enhance their quality of life.

These casual roles offer more than flexibility - they provide exposure to a broad range of clinical settings where no two shifts are the same. You’ll have the opportunity to expand your clinical experience, strengthen your skills, and make a meaningful impact with every patient interaction.

Appointment to the role will be at the AHP1 or AHP2 level, dependent on the level of experience.

To be eligible for this position, you must hold an appropriate Degree or equivalent qualification which entitles registration as an Occupational Therapist with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia.

To thrive in this role, you will be a motivated, adaptable professional who brings confidence, clinical expertise and a proactive approach to every shift. You will possess experience across varied clinical settings, strong communication and interpersonal skills and a commitment to delivering high‑quality, patient‑centred care. You will thrive in a collaborative environment and are driven by continuous improvement - both for yourself and the services you provide.

If you’re looking for variety, flexibility and the chance to make a real difference, this is your opportunity to bring your passion to a team where your skills are valued and your impact is felt.
