**Embark on a rewarding career and be part of a team where your dedication makes a difference in people’s lives.**

**About the Role**

We are seeking an experienced Grade 2 Hand Therapist for a full time permanent ongoing role. The team comprises occupational therapists, physiotherapists and an allied health assistant and is primarily based at Dandenong Hospital with adjunct satellite clinics at Clayton and Casey. The hand therapy team is located within the out-patients department with busy clinics running daily and providing an excellent environment for team learning and a multidisciplinary approach. There may also be opportunity for some Work from Home, providing telehealth intervention.

**About Us**

Monash Health runs the largest acute Hand Therapy service in Victoria, servicing a range of patients across the entire life span. There is a focus on those with traumatic injuries who have received plastic and orthopaedic surgery and there will be a variety of other clinical presentations. The Hand Therapy Team has a close relationship with the Plastics and Orthopaedics surgical teams and prides itself on delivering best care to maximise a patient’s return to function. Our commitment to service improvement also provides opportunities for involvement in research and implementation of evidence-based practice. These roles will have responsibilities across the full range of our hand therapy service, both in the acute trauma caseload and in the Adaptive Hand Therapy Clinic.

An exciting project initiated by the Department of Health being undertaken by Monash Health, the Adaptive Hand Therapy Clinic will provide evidence-based and effective intervention for patients with specified hand conditions that respond well to non-surgical treatment, thereby enabling increased numbers of people to be removed from surgical waiting lists. Clinical teaching is a core activity, involving staff supervision and active support of student placements. You will be involved in service development, working parties and clinical groups as needed, working with the Hand Therapy team and out-patient department to provide an excellent service and implementing service changes as required.

**About You**

You must be AHPRA accredited Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist with well-developed skills in acute hand injury and preferably some experience in conservative management of conditions that respond well to non-surgical interventions. The successful applicant is recognised as a clinically sound within the Hand Therapy field and will be involved in pursuing innovation and excellence within Monash Health. The successful applicant will:

- Be a clear and respectful communicator and patient advocate
- Be clinically experienced in the delivery of acute Hand Therapy
- Engage patients so they actively participate in their treatment and recovery
- Acknowledge responsibility for your own learning
- Collaborate with others in the development of department resources and research pursuits

**What you need**:

- Bachelor of Occupational Therapy or Physiotherapy, or relevant equivalent degree
- Current AHPRA registration
- Demonstration of a passion for hand therapy and early development of hand therapy skills
- For a confidential discussion and to explore the opportunity further, please call Jodie Monks, Senior Clinician - Hand Therapy on 0448 747 436._
