Blackburn, Australia The Mobility Store Full time

**Therapy Assistant - Assistive Technology**

The assistive technology sector is growing quickly as the NDIS increases its support for those with disabilities and baby boomers enter their senior years. The Mobility Store seeks a Therapy Assistant or person with equivalent healthcare experience who has a genuine interest in people, is a team player and exhibits excellent personal attributes.

This is an opportunity for those with an interest in assistive technology to play an important role in our Melbourne team, liaising with clients, OT’s and other healthcare professionals.

It may appeal to an experienced Therapy Assistant seeking a change of role whilst still utilising their knowledge and enjoying close client and professional relationships.

Our business environment is supportive and collaborative, always welcoming and embracing input and ideas from everyone involved in The Mobility Store.

- Feedback on ranging of new and existing assistive technology
- In-store and in-home client and healthcare professional liaison, including product trials
- Assisting clients and healthcare professionals in product selection
