You will be responsible for conducting comprehensive physiotherapy assessments and developing care plans, providing physiotherapy treatment for the management of pain as well as providing rehabilitation interventions where identified. You will also be responsible for overseeing the physiotherapy aides, undertaking exercise classes and leading manual handling training.

Similar to the Physio duties above, an OT will be involved in a combination of assessment, care planning and evaluation of the residents initial and ongoing care needs. Our OT’s also deliver ongoing treatment plans for pain management. Sites may also request OT assessments and advice for pressure care, seating, splinting or wheelchair prescription.

      As a podiatrist, you will be assigned to a number of different facilities (all within close proximity) and visit each of these on a regular basis. You will be responsible for assessing each resident and developing a treatment care plan with them. Our podiatrists also provide regular in-service training to staff and families on a variety of foot health topics.
      • Can I talk to one of your professionals to find out more information about the role?
        Of course! Please call us on 1300 660 086 and we will put you in contact with our Team Leaders.
        • Where do your practitioners work?
          Our practitioners work within residential aged care facilities. Most of our practitioners work only on one site and quite often there are two practitioners on site in larger facilities. We have facilities nationwide and always try our best to place practitioners on a site as close to home as possible.
          • Will I receive any training when I first start?
            All employees are given a comprehensive induction when they first arrive. It includes everything you need to ensure that you feel confident in starting work. You will also have constant support from your team leader and mentor as well as having a friendly Head Office Team for any further questions. No two practitioners are the same, therefore we will work with you to ensure that you have the best training and support to suit you as an individual.
            • Do I need a car/license?
              It is helpful however it isn’t mandatory unless you are applying for a mobile role. At HealthStrong, we do our best to place our practitioners on a site as close to home as possible. We will work with you closely to find a location which has good public transport access if you do not have a car.
              • Do I need to have experience in Aged Care to apply?
                Whilst experience is always great, it isn’t essential. We will provide you with comprehensive training when you start and you will have ongoing learning opportunities to help you expand your knowledge within the field of Gerontology. We provide all of our employees with numerous training and development incentives to assist in expanding their skills and knowledge.

                      At HealthStrong, we understand that no two situations are the same and this is why we offer flexibility in our positions. We can offer permanent full-time and part-time positions as well as locum positions. We can even cater to mums/dads and the school drop off.
                      • Is there job diversity within Aged Care?

                        Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists working in Aged Care are truly the General Practitioners of the Allied Health world. On a daily basis you will see patients with:

                        • Musculoskeletal complaints – pain, arthritis, muscular tears, joint instability
                        • Cardiorespiratory disease – COPD, bronchiectasis, emphysema
                        • Neurological disease – Stroke, ABI, Hungtington’s Disease
                        • Cognitive deficits – Dementia, Brain injury
                        • ADL Limitations
                        • Patients with ALL OF THE ABOVE

                        Whereas let’s consider private practice – it’s primarily a musculoskeletal or sports caseload and even then most of that will be backs, knees, and shoulders. The same goes for hospital work – across the entire hospital there is great diversity, but you are usually assigned to one ward and therefore seeing very similar patients day-in/day-out.

                        • What do I need to be employed with HealthStrong?
                          Aside from compliance documents (Degree, AHPRA registration, police check), you will need to have an interest in working within the aged care sector. We want employees who share our vision, are hard-working and reliable and want to be a part of our HealthStrong Team.
                          • Is there weekend or after hours work required?
                            We work standard business hours – 8:30am-4:30pm each day. Having said this, in most cases, our practitioners are able to start earlier or later than this to suit their lifestyle. As for weekend and after-hours work, it is not required nor expected. We can offer Saturday work to employees who would rather work a Saturday than a weekday.
                            • What incentives do you offer employees?
                              Our employees work hard and they are rewarded with great incentives. We offer our employees a competitive remuneration package, paid indemnity and liability insurance, $1000 allowance for professional development, free webinars, and journal access just to name a few.
                              • Is there any career progression or self-development available?

                                At HealthStrong, we believe that all of our practitioners need support and this is why we have an established management team. We have both State-based and National management positions and we provide employees with access to management and leadership courses to assist them in reaching their career goals. Additionally, you may be interested in joining the APA special interest group, Gerontology. You could also aim for Titling and Specialisation through this group. Soon there will be higher research degrees and coursework Masters options available. There are regular PD opportunities provided by both the APA and other sources. In Aged Care, there is great opportunity to become Team Leaders, Regional Managers or National Managers – the opportunities are endless.
