About Summit Health Group

At Summit Health Group, we are on a mission to empower our clients - particularly older adults - to live healthier, more active lives. Through personalised exercise programs and a focus on long-term relationships, we help our clients build strength, resilience, and confidence for a brighter future. We foster a welcoming, inclusive environment where both clients and team members feel supported and valued. Our vision is to become the trusted provider of premium allied health services in Victoria and Tasmania, one client at a time.

The Role

Your role will include:

• Conducting structured initial assessments that create clarity and direction

• Delivering 1:1 and small group exercise sessions

• Programming and progressing clients using our established frameworks

• Documenting clearly so care remains seamless across the team

• Communicating with referrers and the wider healthcare team when required

• Contributing to a calm, positive, and professional clinic environment

This role suits someone who enjoys working with people long term, values steady progress, and takes pride in doing the fundamentals well.

Hours

• Monday - Blackburn: 11:00am-6:30pm (7 hours)

• Tuesday - Malvern: 2:00pm-7:30pm (5 hours)

• Wednesday - Blackburn: 9:30am-3:30pm (5.5 hours)

• Friday - Malvern: 12:00pm-5:00pm (5 hours)

Total: 22.5 hours per week

These hours are somewhat flexible and can be discussed for the right candidate.

How We Support You

We take development seriously. You'll be supported through a structured onboarding and mentoring framework, including:

• Structured onboarding and clinical manuals

• Observation of assessments, reviews, and sessions

• Supervised practice with immediate, specific feedback

• Weekly 1:1 mentoring and clinic-wide professional development sessions

• A structured development pathway with regular reviews

• Ongoing clinical and operational check-ins

• Is ESSA-accredited (or near completion)

• Shares our passion for helping clients improve their health through movement

• Communicates clearly and builds strong rapport

• Thrives in a collaborative team environment
