Perth, Western Australia Buscojobs Full time

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.

About You

  • Certificate III or IV in Allied Health Assistance (or equivalent)
  • Previous experience in a Therapy Assistant role, ideally in an aged care or other healthcare environment
  • Demonstrated experience working with residents with advanced dementia
  • 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

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 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 money from your salary before tax is taken out. Pay less tax, and your take-home pay increases
  • A rewarding career with a supportive culture
  • 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
