Perth, Western Australia Buscojobs Full time

Bethanie is a leading not-for-profit aged care provider based in Western Australia. For 70 years, we have been empowering ageing Australians to lead their most meaningful lives by recognizing 'old age' as a positive force in society and giving a voice to those who have seen it all and live to tell the tale.

We're on a mission to create a better world not just for ageing Australians, but their communities as well, and we believe that to make this difference, you need the right people by your side.

We currently have an opportunity for an Occupational Therapist to join the team at Bethanie Peel Aged Care Home, located in Mandurah, to provide support during a period of leave. Bethanie Peel is a warm and welcoming 50-bed facility set amongst landscaped gardens, with a personalized memory support area.

If you share our passion for person-centred therapy services and promoting a positive ageing experience for older people, we would love to hear from you

In this role, you will be responsible for the effective and efficient delivery of customer-centred therapy and lifestyle programs, working closely with the multidisciplinary team to improve the quality of life of our residents.

This role is offered on a fixed-term part-time basis, with the successful applicant working 13 hours per week until 23 February 2026, with the potential for extension. The roster is negotiable with the successful applicant and can be discussed further at interview.

Our Therapy Team consists of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, a Senior Dietitian, and a Senior Speech Pathologist. The Therapy Team is further supported by a full-time Allied Health Manager. Additionally, this role will be directly supported by a Senior Therapy Team Lead with over a decade of experience as an Occupational Therapist in aged care.

We will consider applicants at all levels of seniority, so those with less experience or new graduates are encouraged to apply, as we can offer clinical support and professional development opportunities tailored to you. This is your chance to gain some exposure to the rewarding sector of aged care

About You

  • Current full, unrestricted registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) as an Occupational Therapist
  • Relevant experience in an aged care environment or supporting people living with dementia is an advantage, but not essential
  • Be relatable and able to share knowledge in a way that supports change at all levels
  • High level of negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills
  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills
  • Able to manage a complex workload and adapt to fast-changing priorities and environments
  • Customer-focused and effective in working with a broad range of stakeholders
  • Effective communication skills, including strong verbal and written abilities, and interpersonal skills
  • Willingness to uphold the Mission, Vision, and Values of The Bethanie Group
  • Willingness to obtain relevant vaccinations
  • Current NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to apply for one)

About the Role :

  • Complete therapy assessments and respond to clinical referrals
  • Plan and implement individual or group therapeutic activities, working with an interdisciplinary team to maintain an effective referral system and coordinate therapy implementation
  • Direct and coordinate Therapy Assistants
  • Maintain appropriate clinical documentation and information systems
  • Contribute to a multidisciplinary program of continuous improvement
  • Incorporate aged care quality standards into all services
  • Synthesize information through observation and written documentation to provide relationship-centred, evidence-based recommendations
  • Undertake a range of assessments to understand the holistic experience of the person

Working with Bethanie

Many of us work because we want to make a difference. As a company, we know we can only do this by providing our people with the best education, facilities, and support to make a truly fulfilling career, and to feel fulfilled.

As well as being part of an engaging and caring work environment, you will also have access to the following benefits :

  • Salary packaging up to $15,900 per annum + up to $2,650 for meals and entertainment. Salary packaging allows you to pay for your expenses with pre-tax dollars, reducing your tax and increasing your take-home pay.
  • A rewarding career with a supportive culture
  • Access to discounts on everyday purchases from leading brands for groceries, clothing, travel, household appliances, and entertainment
  • A comprehensive mental health and wellbeing program and free flu vaccinations each year
  • Professional development and training opportunities
  • A focus on flexibility and work-life balance
