Why Work With Us

At Sydney Kids OT, we do things a little differently — and that’s exactly why our team loves working here. 

We’re a passionate, experienced, tight knit group of paediatric occupational therapists who believe in creating a warm, supportive space where every child feels safe to grow, and every team member feels valued and empowered. 

Work-Life Balance Matters 

We understand that our team members have lives outside of work and we respect that. We offer flexible work arrangements and manageable caseloads so you can bring your best self to every session, without the burnout. 

Led by Experience 

Sydney Kids OT is led by Cara Adler, an experienced paediatric OT with over 20 years of local and international expertise. You’ll benefit from regular mentoring, hands-on guidance, and the opportunity to grow under supportive leadership that truly understands your professional journey. 

A Supportive and Welcoming Team 

From your very first day, you’ll feel the difference. We pride ourselves on fostering a collaborative and friendly work environment where your voice is heard and your ideas are encouraged. Whether you’re early in your OT career or bring years of experience, we value what you bring to the table. 

Purpose-Driven Work 

You’ll be helping children develop real-life skills, overcome challenges, and build confidence every day. Our goal-oriented, evidence-based approach means you’ll see the impact of your work — from the smile on a child’s face to the progress they make at school and at home. 

Ongoing Learning and Growth 

We’re committed to staying at the forefront of paediatric occupational therapy. You’ll have access to ongoing professional training, and support to ensure your practice is current, confident and continually evolving. 

Hear From Our Team 

I’ve been with Sydney Kids OT for five years, and I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else. I’ve been able to structure some of my days to include a large break in the middle — just enough time to head to the beach for a swim and recharge or go to the gym. That kind of flexibility means I return to my afternoon sessions energised and focused. It’s the perfect balance of professional fulfilment and personal wellbeing.”
