Darwin, Australia Therapy Coalition Full time

Overview

Occupational Therapist – Darwin or Perth. Live Better, Shine Brighter — this is what we offer our clients and also what we want for our staff. At Patches we assess our performance against the number of client goals we assist in achieving. Every day we work to help disadvantaged youngsters, ageing Australians and their families from varied backgrounds to better understand their functional abilities and to develop goals and plans designed to enhance quality of life and overall enjoyment. The development and implementation of individualized care and treatment plans will be a meaningful and integral part of the job.

The Patches team is seeking a driven, talented and Really Good Fun Occupational Therapist, experienced and comfortable with both Functional Capacity Assessments and the development and ongoing delivery of client-focused care and treatment plans. Initially you will be based in Darwin or Perth (or traveling to Darwin from your home), focusing on the clients and families currently waiting for assistance. Over time we will build on our existing outreach program to ensure more remote clients can access life-changing treatment and assessment opportunities in the metropolitan area.

What’s in it For You?

We offer a competitive salary, but that is just the beginning. We want to understand what makes a great workplace for you and, at Patches, we pride ourselves on the ability to be flexible with staff while continuing to focus on client goals. Let us know what you are looking for and together we can design an employment contract that is balanced and works for all involved.
