Senior Occupational Therapist
About the Role
This is a clinically rich, highly valued role within a busy and rapidly growing service. The wider organisation is Ireland's largest private-pay autism assessment provider, HSE approved, trusted by families, schools and public services across the country. If you're an OT with experience in neurodevelopmental assessment, you'll find a level of clinical quality and team support here that's hard to find elsewhere.
You'll conduct comprehensive ASD assessments using gold-standard diagnostic tools, lead and coordinate the assessment process with psychologists and SLTs, and produce detailed professional reports with clear recommendations for families and supporting services. For experienced candidates, there's genuine scope to move into a supervisory or senior role, and remote working is available for the right person.
The service has been built so OTs can do outstanding diagnostic work without being buried in admin, without working in isolation, and without the financial uncertainty of going it alone, with industry-leading pay, performance bonuses, a full admin team, cutting-edge clinical technology, and a no-waitlist model.

- CPD budget, annual budget plus professional development support
- Sick pay, 4 weeks full pay per year
- Maternity cover, top up to 50% of salary for 12 weeks above statutory Maternity Benefit
- AI clinical documentation tools and dedicated admin support, so time stays on clinical work
