Paediatric Occupational Therapist – Independent Contractor Partner with The Eye Collective to deliver paediatric OT services with a strong focus on vision and visual processing About Us The Eye Collective is a long-established behavioural optometry clinic with a strong reputation in paediatrics. For decades, we’ve supported children and families through vision therapy, myopia control, and holistic eyecare. With the growing demand for support in visual processing and functional vision, we’re seeking a Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join us as an Independent Contractor.
