Your day-to-day

A clinical position with us is multi-faceted, to help you work in the way that allows you to be your best, whilst also allowing us to see our clients in the capacity that most appropriately matches their needs. Therefore, your day could start by working from home or in the clinic to do some reports alongside your colleagues, with the afternoon's spent visiting clients in their homes, group homes or an aged care facility.

Day to day you will support your clients to achieve an optimal state of personal, social and emotional wellbeing, as defined by the individual needs of each person. You will achieve this by working with them to identify barriers to optimal functioning through interventions that focus on enhancing existing skills, creating opportunities, promoting wellness, remediating or restoring skills, modifying or adapting the environment or activity, and preventing relapse.
