Exercise Physiologist (Paediatric) – Wednesdays & Saturdays

Tailor Your Resume for this Job

Neurodiverse Playhouse | Spring Hill, Brisbane

Looking for a role where every day is different and every child leaves with a smile?

At Neurodiverse Playhouse, we believe therapy should feel like play, connection and belonging—not a clinical appointment.

We're looking for an enthusiastic Accredited Exercise Physiologist to join our growing team at our beautiful Spring Hillclinic, working Wednesdays and Saturdays.

If you're passionate about helping children build confidence through movement and want to be part of an innovative multidisciplinary team that is redefining paediatric allied health, we'd love to hear from you.

About Us

Neurodiverse Playhouse is a holistic allied health practice supporting neurodivergent children, adolescents and their families through evidence-informed, play-based and neuroaffirming care.

Our multidisciplinary team includes Exercise Physiologists, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, Speech Pathologists, Art Therapists and Paediatric Podiatrists, working together to help children develop the foundations they need to thrive.

We celebrate children's strengths, interests and individuality while creating meaningful therapy experiences that families genuinely enjoy attending.

• Autism
• ADHD
• Dyspraxia / Developmental Coordination Disorder
• Hypermobility
• Toe walking
• Motor coordination difficulties
• Emotional regulation challenges
• Low muscle tone
• Balance and postural control difficulties

You will deliver a combination of:

• Individual therapy sessions
• Our highly regarded Sensory Motor Program
• Small group programs focused on movement, confidence, social connection and motor skill development
• School holiday intensives
• Collaborative multidisciplinary care alongside our experienced allied health team

Our sessions incorporate movement, play, coordination, strength, balance, primitive reflex integration principles and functional skill development in a fun, engaging environment.

No two days are ever the same.

What You'll Love

• Work every Wednesday and Saturday in our vibrant Spring Hill clinic
• Deliver fun, play-based therapy—not traditional gym programs
• Facilitate both individual and small group sessions
• Work alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team
• Weekly mentoring and professional development
• Opportunities to develop specialist paediatric skills
• Career progression as Neurodiverse Playhouse continues to expand
• A supportive culture where your ideas and passion are valued

Why Neurodiverse Playhouse?

Neurodiverse Playhouse was founded because our Director couldn't find the kind of holistic, neuroaffirming service she wanted for her own child.

Today, we are one of Australia's fastest-growing paediatric allied health practices, providing innovative, child-led services that make therapy engaging, meaningful and enjoyable for children and families alike.

If you're looking for a workplace where you'll be supported, inspired and encouraged to grow while making a genuine difference in children's lives, we'd love to hear from you.
