Job description

Join a Thriving Allied Health Team in Central Queensland

We’re on the lookout for an enthusiastic, motivated Exercise Scientist to join our growing team at our Rockhampton and Yeppoon clinics.

What's In It For You?

Receive Healthia Group Employee Discounts – up to 30% off all services and products, including podiatry, Pilates, strength classes, physiotherapy & footwear!

Access a range of gyms, swimming pools and health centres across Australia at discounted rates for you and your family with Fitness Passport.

Be part of a friendly and collaborative team that values your contributions.

Explore opportunities for professional growth and advancement through the Healthia national network.

Enjoy a competitive base salary and additional perks (remuneration is aligned with the Health Professionals and Support Services Award and will be tailored to recognise your specific skills and experience level).

The Opportunity

We are seeking a committed and enthusiastic Exercise Scientist to join our thriving, close-knit team on a casual basis. You will support our clinics by running exercise programs that help clients stay healthy and active. This role bridges the gap between rehab and general fitness.

While you will be primarily based at our lovely Rockhampton clinic, you may be required to provide additional coverage at our Yeppoon clinic.

Your key responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:

• Design and deliver individualised exercise programs for low-to-moderate risk clientele, focusing on general health, fitness, injury prevention, and sports performance.
• Lead and supervise small group classes (e.g., Clinical Pilates, Strength & Conditioning, Seniors classes), ensuring technique correction, safety, and high levels of client engagement.
• Conduct pre-exercise screening and fitness assessments to establish baseline data and track client progress over time.
• Work closely with Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists to facilitate effective handover of patients and ensure continuity of care within the clinic.
• Proactively manage personal caseloads, including re-booking clients, following up on cancellations, and identifying opportunities to upgrade clients to ongoing fitness memberships.
• Assist in the maintenance of gym equipment, adherence to WHS standards, and general clinic hygiene to ensure a professional environment.

What We're Looking For

You’ll be friendly and collaborative, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, strong clinical reasoning, and a self-motivated, organised approach. You’ll be committed to ongoing learning and development, working well as part of a team and striving to achieve excellent clinical outcomes for our patients.

Along with a passion for helping others, the successful candidate will hold a degree in Exercise Physiology and Sport Science (or equivalent) and will also have current (or eligibility for) ESSA registration. You will also have, or be willing to obtain, the required Working With Children Check, NDIS Worker Screening Check and NDIS Worker Orientation Module.
