Get Yourself Moving programs is a restorative reablement service operating from our residential care site at Rooty Hill. The program serves older people across Western Sydney from Parramatta to the Blue Mountains, reaching people in the home and in local community centres.

- entry level individual and group exercise programs for residents;
- targeted individual and group exercise programs for residents with particular chronic health conditions;
- individualised restorative programs to help particular residents restore their functional abilities; and
- an innovative restorative respite program that allows people living at home to have a short stay program and then return home with their function improved.

The successful applicant will be someone who genuinely likes elderly people and will appreciate the opportunities and challenges of being part of an innovative program. They will have a strong focus on evidence-based practice and will enjoy being part of a multi-disciplinary team. Postgraduate experience, preferably in aged care, would be desirable.

The successful applicant will be a person who has a genuine interest in improving people’s functional independence and who enjoys some diversity and autonomy in their job. If that describes you, we will actively support you, and we can guarantee that you will find the role both challenging and fulfilling.
