The Allied Health Intermediate Care Service (ICS) comprises of Dietetics, Exercise Physiology, Occupational Therapy, Podiatry, Physiotherapy, Social Work and interdisciplinary complex self-management support services (CHAMP), operating as an intermediate service between hospital admission and community-based supports. Our team works collaboratively and in alignment with other services within NALHN Clinical Divisions as well as local Aboriginal Health Services, with a focus on optimising functional and health outcomes and reducing hospital admissions for clients with Diabetes, Chronic Cardiac and Respiratory Conditions and vulnerable people with other chronic conditions. At ICS we aim to meet the needs of the client and “together, we connect with people living with chronic conditions to live the life they choose”.

- possess strong communication skills and the ability to build trust and rapport with clients
- have desirable experience in behaviour change, health coaching or chronic disease management and experience with evidence-based behaviour change frameworks (eg motivational interviewing, CBT etc)
- have the ability to work independently as well as part of a multidisciplinary team
- show empathy and patience with a client-centred approach to care

To be eligible for this position, you must hold an appropriate degree or equivalent qualification for one of the following Allied Health disciplines working in the service, specifically:

- Appropriate Degree or equivalent qualification which gives eligibility for full membership of the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA).
- Appropriate Degree or equivalent qualification, usually in human movements, inclusive of the exercise physiology elective and eligible for accreditation from Exercise Sports Science Australia (ESSA).

- Appropriate Degree or equivalent qualification which entitles registration with the Podiatry Board of Australia.
- Appropriate Degree or equivalent qualification recognised by the PsyBA and general registration with PsyBA.
- Appropriate Degree or equivalent qualification which gives eligibility for full membership of the Australian Association of Social Workers.

A certificate in the Flinders Model of Chronic Condition Management (or willingness to achieve this with in-house training) is highly desirable.

**About You**:
Are you a dedicated, compassionate and enthusiastic Allied Health Practitioner looking for an opportunity to join a dynamic, growing healthcare network where you will be part of a supportive team delivering high quality care to the community?
