Description
Join Our Team at Sense Therapies
Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, and Psychologists (EOI)
Locations: Bulli • Kiama • Berry (Illawarra & Shoalhaven)
Sense Therapies is growing, and we’re inviting applications from clinicians who want to help children and families thrive in a practice that’s trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, family-centred, and genuinely people-first.
Founded by Carlien and Jesse Parahi—the team behind Sense Rugby and Sense AFL, which operate across Australia and New Zealand—we launched our therapy clinics in 2020 to extend that same spirit of inclusion, movement, and joy into allied health.
Why Sense Therapies?
Purpose-Built Spaces for Play & Progress
Our custom-built Bulli clinic features multiple sensory rooms, a large shared gym, trampolines, and a huge foam pit.
Collaborative, Multidisciplinary Team
Join 17+ passionate clinicians who learn together, consult often, and back each other up. We run interest-based group programs most afternoons, including Sense Strength, Art, Rugby, AFL, Teens, Surf, and Preschool, plus holiday camps, adventures, intensives, and community access. We believe therapy shouldn’t only happen in a clinic.
Nature & Community Connection
We practise in some of Australia’s most beautiful coastal environments. While Bulli is our main clinic, we also deliver school, home, and community-based programs across Kiama and Berry, meeting children in the places they learn and thrive best.
Dedicated Support Team
Our operations and admin team ensure you can focus on what you do best—being a clinician first.
Our Approach
We deliver therapy through a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming lens, grounded in models we love: DIR Floortime, Sensory Integration, and the Polyvagal Theory. We’re committed, progressive, playful, and community-focused and we live these values in our culture and our care.
A Workplace That Works for People
We believe caring for others starts with caring for ourselves and our systems reflect that.
• Design your week: Part-time or full-time, with caseloads and schedules tailored to how you work best.
• Firm boundaries: Clear lines between work and home, supported by realistic planning and teamwork.
• Wellbeing first: Three Bonus Wellness Weeks per year (paid) available to access to rest and reflect.
• Time that counts: Option to work four days and be paid for five.
• Connection built-in: Regular team catch-ups, supervision, and peer support that keep the work sustainable and fun.
Professional Growth & Support
• Generous professional development budget and paid study leave.
• Senior-led supervision tailored to your needs and stage of career.
• Fortnightly “Elevating Practice” sessions for shared learning and team development.
• Paid external supervision to ensure your learning stays rich and multi-faceted.
