Hey you! 

Our team is looking for a Therapy Team Lead who loves supporting people just as much as they would embrace this opportunity shape great clinical practice across our team. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll guide and support our passionate Allied Health team while still staying connected to the work and helping people achieve meaningful outcomes every day. You’ll help create a positive, collaborative team environment, support clinicians to do their best work, and drive high-quality, person-centred support across our NDIS services.

 

While our team has a strong Occupational Therapy presence, we’re absolutely open to Allied Health professionals from a range of backgrounds. More than anything, we’re looking for someone with strong Allied Health experience in the NDIS space and a genuine passion for supporting both clients and clinicians.

 

At genU, we’re a profit-for-purpose organisation, reinvesting our success back into programs to create real social impact. From disability and aged care support to community-focused initiatives, we’re here to help people live their best lives. 

 

We're open to flexible hours, part-time, or job share arrangements – because great people thrive in different ways. 

 

What you’ll do 

As the Therapy Team Lead in our Allied Health team, you’ll: 

  • Guide clinicians toward meaningful outcomes, drawing on your experience and expertise within NDIS settings.
  • Support the team to achieve service targets and KPIs, while keeping an eye on performance and budgets.
  • Champion quality, safeguarding, and continuous improvement across the team.
  • Oversee referrals, triage, and client allocation to ensure participants receive the right support at the right time.
  • Manage incidents end-to-end, ensuring documentation and follow-up are clear, timely, and meaningful.
  • Stay hands-on by managing a small caseload and continuing to deliver therapy services.

 

What you’ll bring 

  • Current AHPRA registration. While our team is largely Occupational Therapists, we’re totally open to Allied Health backgrounds including Physiotherapy, Exercise Physiology, Dietetics, Psychology, and more.
  • Strong experience in an NDIS Allied Health setting, with a solid understanding of best-practice support.
  • A genuine enthusiasm for supporting clinicians through supervision, coaching, and development.
  • Great communication skills and a natural ability to build strong relationships and contribute to a positive team environment.
  • The ability to work collaboratively and build relationships with a wide range of stakeholders including clients, families, referrers, and colleagues.

(You’ll also need an NDIS Worker Screening Check and Orientation Module Certificate – but don’t worry, we’ll help guide you through this.)
