Perth, Western Australia The Bethanie Group Full time $104,000 - $130,878 per year

Bethanie is a leading not for profit aged care provider based in Western Australia. For 70 years, we have been empowering ageing Australians to lead their most meaningful lives by recognising 'old age' as a positive force in society and giving a voice to those who have seen it all and live to tell the tale.

We're on a mission to create a better world not just for ageing Australians, but their communities as well, and we believe that to make this difference, you need the right people by your side. We believe that's what makes us truly different

We currently have an opportunity for an Occupational Therapist to join the team at Bethanie Gwelup Aged Care Home. Co-located with a retirement village, Bethanie Gwelup is home to 112 beds across two floors, including a dementia specific wing, and has been designed and built to maximise our residents' enjoyment and wellbeing.

If you share our passion for person centred therapy services and promoting a positive ageing experience for older people, we would love to hear from you

In this role, you will be responsible for the effective and efficient delivery of customer centred therapy and lifestyle programs, working closely with the multidisciplinary team to improve the quality of life of our residents.
