Bethanie is a leading not-for-profit aged care provider based in Western Australia. For nearly 70 years, we have been empowering ageing Australians to lead their most meaningful lives by recognising '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 are currently seeking qualified Therapy Assistants to facilitate therapy and lifestyle programs for our residents at Bethanie Fields Aged Care Home located in Eaton. Co-located with a retirement village, Bethanie Fields is a 160-bed facility designed specifically to provide support for people who need 24-hour care, including those with special care needs and dementia. This role is offered on a casual basis.
We are looking for someone with a passion for working with people of all abilities and backgrounds. Our Therapy Assistants have an enthusiastic and creative approach to their work and are able to support and cultivate our residents' strengths and interests.
An important component of this role is the ability to work autonomously and facilitate individual and group therapy sessions independently. You will work under the guidance of a Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist, while also being confident in using your initiative and creative thinking to ensure sessions run smoothly.
We are looking for someone who thrives in a role where every day is different and who is passionate about supporting meaningful engagement with people of all abilities.

- Ability to communicate clearly in both verbal and written formats with care recipients, families, and team members
- Ability to work as part of a team as well as independently
- Willingness to uphold the Mission, Vision, and Values of The Bethanie Group
- Willingness to obtain relevant vaccinations – 1x COVID vaccination and annual flu vaccination
- Current NDIS Worker Screening Check (or willingness to apply for one)
The Role
- Implement therapy and lifestyle programs for individual residents and groups
- Adapt activities to residents' levels of function under the guidance of a Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist
- Address a variety of physical and psychological needs and provide opportunities for meaningful engagement for residents
- Maintain accurate documentation, both paper and computer-based
