Job description

Rewarding and Diverse Adult, Community Caseload

Flexible Working Hours - FT or PT or Contracting + Work from Home

Co-Design Your Personalised CPD Plan to Suit Your Goals

Specialised Office Support to Assist with Admin and Scheduling

Interested in Home Mods, Driving Ax, Mental Health or Leadership one day? Join us now and we'll provide comprehensive training in your area of interest!

Our “Why”

Recovery Station exists to empower people to live a quality life. We believe in creating the ideal work environment for you because when you are happy, healthy, well-skilled and fulfilled, you're in the best position to have a positive impact on the wellbeing of everyone around you.

Joining Recovery Station means aligning with a company that believes in empowering you and your future.

The Role

We predominantly see our clients in their homes, group homes, aged care facilities or in a public setting. One morning you may be helping someone trial a new wheelchair as they visit their local cafe or helping someone cook independently or advising on some new assistive technology to make staying at home more comfortable and functional.

This role is ideal if you like to have genuine flexibility and control over how you structure your days - meaning your individuality is recognised + you don't miss family time or life after work.

Depending where you are living, we'll tailor your caseload to service clients close to home. Your personalised admin support team will work with you to ensure you aren't zigzagging around the Coast.

You could join us either full-time or part-time and we have an office in Erina (or Toronto) for you to use as a home base from which to see clients and your colleagues.

You will be supported to confidently:

• Service a predominantly adult, NDIS & DVA caseload (12 yrs old and up)
• Support clients with a range of tasks such as life skills (budgeting, shopping, travel, cooking), pressure care, sensory, cognitive re-training, prescribing equipment and assistive tech, upper limb + fine & gross motor therapy plus home assessments and modifications (initially minor and you can receive more training in complex mods)
• Comprehensive assessment and reporting eg initials, falls, functional capacity, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) or Activities of Daily Living (ADL) & Individualised Living Option (ILO)

We see people living with lifelong disabilities, neurological conditions (MND, MS, Parkinsons, Stroke), TBI/ABI, Autism/ASD, amputations, hearing or vision impairments and more. You'll service a varied caseload meaning lots of interesting things to learn and you'll never get bored!

Together, our passionate multidisciplinary team of OTs, Mental Health OT’s, Psychologists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Dietitians and Allied Health Assistants collaboratively share their knowledge and experience to holistically design an individualised service to help improve the quality of life for people living with a disability or looking to age as independently as possible.

We value flexibility so you can fit us in around your personal life eg family, sport, volunteering or another part-time role.

Remuneration that matches your experience plus the option to stretch for RDO’s and financial bonuses if you choose

We trust you to work from home, or in the office, via telehealth and we give you a laptop and pay a phone/ data allowance to support this

A member of our administrative team will assist you with scheduling your appointments efficiently to minimise travel, to make calls and take messages for you whilst you're in sessions and to assist with the maintenance of compliance documentation, such as setting up and adjusting funding plans

Travel is reimbursed at $0.99/km + tolls and parking at appointments

Novated leasing options

Ability to transfer between offices if you move one day

To bring us together as a team, we have a fun wellbeing program that involves monthly social events.

Your thorough Orientation will be supported by ongoing one on ones with your Supervisor to discuss your goals with a personalised CPD plan. We'll help you set your learning goals and plan what you'd like to upskill in.

One on ones will be complemented with monthly inservices with other OT's so you can learn from external presenters, share ideas, resources and stay up to date with any industry updates

We love facilitating development pathways with clinicians seeking career progression and added responsibility via either supervising students/ grads/ junior staff, increased complexity of caseload or involvement in management procedures depending on what avenue you'd like to explore

Two paid CPD days per annum to be used towards external training of your choice
