Graduate & Early Career Opportunities – Start Strong in Allied Health

Graduating as an Occupational Therapist or Speech Pathologist is a huge achievement — but stepping into your first role can feel daunting.

You might be asking yourself:

• “What if I don’t know enough yet?”

• “What if I get complex clients straight away?”

• “What if I’m expected to manage everything on my own?”

At South Coast Therapy & Support Group, we understand what early career clinicians need to thrive — and we’ve built a workplace where you can grow with support, not pressure.

We don’t expect you to know everything

No new grad should feel like they need to be perfect. We want you to be:

• Curious

• Open to learning

• Willing to ask questions

• Passionate about client outcomes

Confidence comes with experience — and experience comes with the right support.

Mentoring and supervision that makes a difference

Support isn’t just something we mention during onboarding — it’s part of the way we work.

We offer:

• Clinical supervision

• Team collaboration

• Access to experienced clinicians

• Case discussion and problem-solving

• Guidance with reports and goal planning

A diverse caseload = faster learning (with the right support)

Working in a practice that supports a wide range of clients helps you build skills quickly.

You may gain experience in areas like:

• Paediatrics and developmental support

• Emotional regulation and participation

• Functional capacity and daily living skills

• Assistive technology recommendations

• Communication development and social skills

A workplace that supports growth AND wellbeing

Early career clinicians are especially vulnerable to burnout if workloads are unrealistic or support is missing.

At SCTSG, we focus on:

• Sustainable caseloads

• Realistic expectations

• A culture of teamwork

• A supportive environment where you can ask for help
