About Us

Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District (NBMLHD) is a wonderful place to expand your career and grow your skills and knowledge. As a recognised leader in the healthcare industry, we provide a range of public health services to the Nepean, Blue Mountains, and Lithgow Region.

Nepean Hospital is a teaching hospital that provides tertiary referral services in emergency care, coronary care, diagnostics, gynaecology, paediatric, neonatal intensive care/ICU, maternity, mental health, rehabilitation, and surgery. The Nepean Campus has recently experienced tremendous growth and aims to support communities within and outside of Sydney’s western suburbs, providing world-class clinical facilities, services, and care.

The Occupational Therapy Team is growing and seeking to engage an Occupational Therapist to provide high quality Occupational therapy service across multiple clinical areas. The successful incumbent will have a passion for providing person centred clinical advice to clients, carers/families, and other health care professionals to ensure delivery of clinical practice models and therapeutic techniques.

Your role will see you exercise independent professional judgement on routine matters and seek direct professional supervision from more senior staff members when performing novel, complex or critical tasks. This will also include selecting and implementing intervention and treatment strategies to address problem areas identified in assessments and to meet goals within specific time frames.

Key to your success is working collaboratively with senior clinicians and other members of the multidiscipline team in evaluating treatment according to goal achievement. We invite you to grow your career with us. Apply Now!
