- Certificate III (or equivalent) in Allied Health Assistance
- Experience working with residents with dementia would be an advantage
- Ability to communicate clearly in both a verbal and written capacity with care recipients, families and team members
- Ability to work as part of a team as well as individually
- Well-developed literacy and numeracy skills with a strong attention to detail
- Demonstrated skills with technology/devices/computer programs that are intended for therapy benefits
- Willingness to uphold the vision, mission and values of The Bethanie Group
- A current first aid certificate, or willingness to obtain one
- A current police clearance, or willingness to obtain one
- NDIS worker’s screening check, or willingness to obtain one
- Current vaccinations - 3x covid and annual flu vaccination

**Working with Bethanie as a Therapy Assistant**

As well as being part of a stimulating and nurturing work environment, you will also have access to the following benefits:

- The option to salary package up to $15,899 per annum. 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
- Access to banking, insurance and retail discounts and benefits
- Rewarding career with a supportive culture
- Professional development and training opportunities
