Job description

Senior Consultant – Work Rehab

Location: Sydney

Work Options: Flexible | Hybrid | Full Time – Part Time

Pay: Above‑industry, reviewed annually

Support: Ongoing training and real backing from your team

You already know how to do good rehab work. What often gets harder is finding a workplace that trusts you to work independently, values your judgement, and still has your back when you need support.

That’s where we’re different.

At Work Rehab , we’re a medium‑sized business where consultants work autonomously day‑to‑day, but never in isolation. We collaborate, share wins, talk through challenges, and celebrate good outcomes together. Support is always available — practically, professionally, and personally.

We’re now looking for an experienced Rehabilitation Counsellor or Psychologist to join our Sydney team.

The Role

You'll manage a varied and meaningful caseload, supported by experienced peers and leaders who genuinely understand rehab work.

Your role will include:

• Developing tailored rehabilitation and return‑to‑work plans
• Assessing physical, psychological, social, and vocational factors
• Conducting Vocational, Workplace and Functional Capacity Assessments
• Working collaboratively with clients, employers, treating providers and insurers
• Providing clear, evidence‑based advice to support sustainable outcomes

What Our Consultants Value Most

• Flexibility: Full‑time or part‑time options, hybrid work (home and office)
• Trust & Autonomy: Manage your work your way, without micromanagement
• Above‑Industry Pay: Competitive salary, annual reviews and bonus opportunities
• Professional Growth: Mentoring, genuine career pathways and PD allowance
• A Supportive Team: A connected, inclusive culture with EAP, wellness and training allowances
• Recognition: Your efforts and results are noticed and celebrated
• Practical Support: Pool cars, solid systems, admin support and good tech

About You

You’ll bring:

• A qualification as a Rehabilitation Counsellor or Psychologist
• Registration with AHPRA or ASORC
• Around 1–2 years’ experience in occupational rehabilitation
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with diverse stakeholders
• A genuine interest in achieving positive, sustainable outcomes for people
• A current driver’s licence and recent National Police Clearance
