Job description

Uplift Exercise Physiology – Newcastle NSW

At Uplift Exercise Physiology we believe that exercise improves lives, and our mission is: ‘To inspire health and quality of life, through exercise and education’.

We predominantly assist people who have been injured at work, people with disabilities, and seniors, via prescription of patient/participant centered, evidence-based, rehabilitative exercise and education interventions - we see a wide variety of people with conditions including but not limited to: musculoskeletal, mental health, chronic pain and disability.

We like to think of ourselves as ‘free range’ Exercise Physiologists who if not working from home, are out on the road helping people in community based settings (gyms, pools, homes, workplaces, residential aged care facilities), or at our clinic in Mayfield East. This role will involve seeing clients in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley.

You will not find a more flexible or diverse role.

This is a role where you will have complete ownership and responsibility for developing and delivering exercise interventions to people on a daily basis, then communicating objective improvements in outcomes to stakeholders.

We are huge proponents of continuing Professional Development and want to ensure that team members are fully supported to become the best possible EP (and best version of themselves outside of work).

You will be very well supported by a well-established Team Leader, hands on company Director, and experienced Operations Manager, and additionally, have access to a large team of ~20 EP's to collaborate with. You will also get access to multiple/regular internal professional development sessions.

On top of providing care for our patients and outcomes for our referrers, we are truly passionate about advancing the profession of Exercise Physiology and creating meaningful and lasting careers specifically for Exercise Physiologists.

• Current documents/certifications: full drivers license, CPR/first aid, ability to pass working with children, NDIS worker screening, and police checks.
• Growth mindset/interest in learning and becoming the best Exercise Physiologist that you can be.
• We are more focused on personality than years of experience (new graduates through to senior practitioners encouraged to apply).

What's On Offer

• Full-time, salaried Exercise Physiologist role with 17.5% annual leave loading and superannuation. Salary is based on experience.
• $1500 financial support and one additional day of leave to complete Professional Development each year - we want you to achieve your potential.

• Ultimate flexibility to run your own schedule.
• Monthly team professional development in-services and regular external guests.

• Mobile Role covering Newcastle/Hunter, NSW.
