Description
This Isn’t Just Another Clinical Leadership Role….. It’s a Chance to Build Something Meaningful.
There comes a point in your clinical career where you may be ready for more than a full calendar of client appointments.
You still love being a clinician, but you are looking for broader influence. You want to make a meaningful difference, support others to grow, build strong professional networks, and help shape the kind of team, culture, and service delivery model you once hoped to be part of yourself.
At Allied Therapeutic Services (ATS), we are entering an exciting phase of growth across North Queensland, and we are seeking a Clinical Hub Lead to help guide and strengthen our Cairns Hub.
This role is about much more than day-to-day clinical service delivery. As Clinical Hub Lead, you will support and mentor clinicians, lead by example, contribute to a positive and high-performing team culture, and work closely with local operational leaders to ensure the hub is functioning effectively and sustainably.
Importantly, this role also extends beyond the clinic walls. You will play an active role in strengthening ATS’ connection with the Cairns community and surrounding region. This may include building relationships with local providers, supporting room rental clinicians, developing partnerships with small allied health businesses and practitioners, and identifying opportunities for community-based programs that respond to local needs.
You will collaborate with Clinical Hub Leads in Townsville and Mackay, as well as the ATS Quality of Care Board, to help grow a best-practice allied health service that is recognised for its quality, clinical integrity, and commitment to both clients and staff.
This is not leadership from behind a desk.
It is leadership alongside a passionate multidisciplinary team - growing people, strengthening services, developing future leaders, and helping build an exceptional allied health hub that genuinely makes a difference across the Cairns region.
About ATS

We have a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, tailored allied health services with a NDIS, Aged Care, WorkCover, NIISQ client base across North Queensland.
But what truly sets us apart isn’t just what we do.

We are deeply committed to delivering flexible, person-centred services that work for real people living in regional and remote communities. Whether that’s in-clinic, in homes, schools, workplaces, communities, outreach locations or through telehealth. We meet people where they are.
And internally?
We are building a culture where clinicians genuinely feel supported, empowered, connected and inspired to do their best work.
Requirements
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional “manager” role. This role is designed for an experienced Senior Occupational Therapist, Speech Pathologist, Psychologist or Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner who is ready to step into something bigger.
Yes, you’ll still maintain a small clinical caseload to stay connected to practice and clients. But your predominant focus will be:
- Lead and support the Cairns clinical team.
- Build a positive, high-quality team culture.
- Mentor clinicians and develop future leaders.
- Strengthen clinical quality and best-practice service delivery.
- Support the effective day-to-day operation of the hub.
- Grow ATS’ presence and partnerships in the Cairns community.
- Identify opportunities for service growth, collaboration, and community programs.
- Work with other Hub Leads and the Quality of Care Board to strengthen ATS across North Queensland.
You’ll be an integral part of the ATS leadership team to help shape the future of the organisation while remaining connected to clinical practice in a meaningful and balanced way. This role offers the rare opportunity to influence not only individual clinicians, but the direction and impact of an entire service. You may have reached the point where you want your experience to create impact beyond your own caseload.
This role gives you the space to do exactly that. It’s the kind of role where your leadership matters every single day.
