We are looking for an AEP who enjoys building genuine relationships with clients and wants the opportunity to develop their clinical skills across a varied caseload.

You will have the autonomy to work with your clients while being part of a supportive team where collaboration, clinical decisions and professional development are encouraged.

There is also scope to develop your own areas of clinical interest as you become part of the team.

What we’re looking for:

Current accreditation with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist

Strong knowledge of exercise prescription, physiology, anatomy and biomechanics relevant to clinical and community settings

Experience delivering exercise interventions to clients with chronic diseases, musculoskeletal conditions, mental health conditions or other health challenges

Proficiency in conducting fitness assessments and interpreting physiological test results

Excellent communication skills with the ability to educate, motivate and build rapport with diverse client populations

Strong clinical reasoning and problem-solving abilities with attention to detail in documentation

Professional approach to client safety, duty of care and ethical practice standards

Current First Aid and CPR certification

Preferred: experience working in multidisciplinary healthcare teams or allied health clinic environments

What we can offer you:

We want our people to enjoy coming to work and feel supported to build a career they are proud of.

You will receive:

Competitive salary, aligned with your qualifications and experience

Ongoing professional development and learning opportunities

Support from experienced clinicians and approachable leadership

A collaborative and positive team environment

Variety in your caseload and opportunities to develop your clinical interests

Regular opportunities to discuss your development, goals and career direction

A workplace that values quality clinical care over simply chasing numbers

A genuine focus on work-life balance and sustainable workloads

The opportunity to contribute ideas and have a voice as the team continues to grow

Why this opportunity?

This is great opportunity for an AEP who wants to be part of a team that is building something, not just maintaining the status quo.

We're investing in the team, the clinic and the way we deliver care, and we're looking for someone who wants to come along for that journey.
