Job description

About the Company:

Our client is a mobile and in-clinic service based in the rural NSW town of Tamworth. Currently, the team consists of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, exercise physiologists and speech pathologists. All of whom have a diverse range of skills and interests, particularly in the areas of hand, musculoskeletal, neurological and paediatric therapy.

Considerable thought has been put into establishing systems that streamline the necessary communication and admin compliance that comes with working across these various schemes. Our aim is to have clinician's time and energy focused on improving their client's outcomes and never feeling overwhelmed by paperwork.

A two-week paid on-boarding/training process will be provided, wherein you will spend time with the practice manager learning the business' software and systems, and attend joint appointments with the senior therapist as well as independently seeing a small caseload of clients in the second week.
