About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and enthusiastic Grade 2 Allied Health Assistant to join the Early Stroke Discharge (ESD) program at Eastern health.  

 The Early Stroke Discharge (ESD) service provides community based multidisciplinary care to support stroke patients transitioning from bed-based services to their own homes. The ESD service delivers a 6 day a week service under both ambulatory and bed substitution models across 2 Eastern Health sites-Peter James Centre (Burwood East) and Angliss Community Rehabilitation Centre (Upper Ferntree Gully). ESD patients are seen in the home and/or in the center. We are a small team of 14 staff members that service approximately 12-14 patients across the Eastern Health catchment area.

This is a Monday to Friday position primarily based at Angliss Community Rehabilitation Centre in Upper Ferntree Gully but will on occasions provide cover at the Peter James Centre in Burwood.

You will work closely with the multidisciplinary team to provide a flexible and responsive client centered service. You will provide therapy support services to individual or groups under the delegation and supervision of an Allied Health Professional. There is also an administrative component to this role.
