Careers · Speech, OT, Key Workers and allied health assistants

Come build the practice you wish existed.

We are a neurodivergence-affirming allied health team, and we genuinely look out for each other. We practise the way we always wanted to: autonomy inside clear systems, real supervision, creative therapy, and a whole team trained as Key Workers. If you see neurodivergence as a different operating system, not a deficit, you might already be one of us.

Why people choose us

We build you out, and set you up to thrive.

We do not throw anyone in the deep end. We build you out, deliberately, so you grow into the work and into yourself.

Start a conversation
Real clinical supervision. Protected, regular supervision where we look at the hard cases together. Not the first thing cut when we get busy.
Built up, not thrown in. We set you up for success and grow your caseload and your confidence at a pace that works.
Genuine flexibility. Work towards the flexibility you want. Sessions at the beach, at a cafe, in the community, and the autonomy to own your own calendar.
Bring your thing. Everyone is encouraged to know who they are and bring the thing that makes them special, and then we make it bigger. Dance x OT was born because Lucy loves dance. There is no idea we will not explore.
A real team, across disciplines. Quarterly whole-team case conferences, fortnightly clinical case conferences across disciplines, an internal NDIS specialist you meet with weekly, and your own clinical supervision. You are never working alone.
Work directly with the CEO. If you want to grow into a specific role, or you have a passion or a strength, and you are aligned, fit the team and show up, we will show up. We create opportunity.
Who thrives here

This is not for everyone, and that is the point.

We would rather be honest now than have you find out in month two.

Start a conversation
01

You thrive here if you see neurodivergence as a difference, not a deficit.

02

You thrive here if you want to make the rules with us. We asked who makes up the rules, and decided it is us. We found another way to do it that feels better, so why not.

03

You thrive here if you are happy to be supervised, give and take feedback, and keep growing.

04

You thrive here if you measure success by people supported, not by people churned.

05

This is not for you if you want fifteen-minute slots, maximum volume and a big corporate machine.

06

This is not for you if you practise from a deficit model, or cannot be honest when something is hard.

Culture is the whole thing

We are genuinely like family.

We leave our ego at the door. We show up as ourselves, and we are honest with each other, with love. Every Friday we do a wellness walk together, because we genuinely prioritise our time as a team. Every month we get together to celebrate each other, and we nominate each other for awards. In September we go to Bali for our annual planning day, and there is the Christmas party too. It is, genuinely, an incredible place to come to work.

Why The Centered Space

Clinical backbone. Human heart.

We are a neurodivergence-affirming team, and we genuinely care about each other. Everyone completes our Key Worker Model training and a formal sign-off before they work here. We show up as ourselves, we back each other, and we are honest with each other, with love. That is what makes this place different, and it is why people stay.
