Work With Us
Love what you do. Love where you work.
At Play & Thrive, we believe that great therapy starts with happy, supported therapists.
We’ve created a workplace that values flexibility, genuine work-life balance and the freedom to do your best work without unnecessary pressure. We know that when clinicians feel trusted, respected and supported, everyone benefits - our team, our families and the children we work with.
Whether you’re an experienced Occupational Therapist or just starting your career, we’d love to hear from people who are passionate about making a meaningful difference in children’s lives.
Why Join Play & Thrive?
Flexibility that works for you
We understand that life doesn’t fit into a standard 9-to-5 schedule. We offer flexible working arrangements that allow you to create a work week that suits your lifestyle, family and wellbeing.
Work-life balance
We believe your life outside of work matters. We encourage healthy boundaries, manageable caseloads and time to recharge, because the best therapists are those who have the energy to enjoy both work and home.
Individualised caseloads
Just as we tailor therapy to every child, we tailor caseloads to our clinicians’ interests, experience and strengths wherever possible.
A supportive team culture
We’re passionate about creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, encouraged and connected. We celebrate wins together, share ideas, support one another through challenges and genuinely enjoy coming to work.
Clinical excellence without the pressure
We provide mentoring, professional development and collaboration to help you continue growing as a therapist while giving you the autonomy to practise in a way that aligns with your values.
Make a real difference
Our neuroaffirming, strengths-based approach means you’ll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with children and families and provide therapy that is engaging, individualised and truly makes a difference.
