Key Responsibilities:

• Use professional expertise to develop generalist and specialist knowledge, enhancing clinical skills to serve clients in complex situations.
• Apply professional judgment to select and adapt established methods and techniques.
• Provide diverse clinical and consultative services in individual, group, and health promotion settings.
• Manage personal workload and assist others in developing workload plans and resource allocation.

What We’re Looking For:

• Must hold a recognised qualification within the relevant allied health profession and be eligible for full membership of the relevant Professional Association.
• A strong background in physiotherapy with both generalist and specialist knowledge.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while seeking guidance when needed.
• A dedication to continuous learning and professional growth, including participation in mandatory and additional training.
• Skills in reflective practice, with the ability to mentor others in developing these skills.
• Experience working effectively within a multi-disciplinary team and supporting colleagues at various levels.
• Potential to provide leadership and facilitate training opportunities within the network.
• Enthusiasm for research, service evaluation, and sharing insights through professional networks and publications.
• A passion for making a positive impact on community health and well-being.
