• You’ll be part of a supportive team, including Grade 3, 2, and 1 Occupational Therapists and Allied Health Assistants.

• The CHSP team is embedded within the broader Occupational Therapy department at Werribee Mercy Hospital, offering opportunities to collaborate, contribute, and grow professionally across services.

• We offer regular supervision via a structured support system, and encouragement to pursue ongoing professional development aligned with your career goals.

To thrive in this role, you will have:

  • A recognised degree in Occupational Therapy and AHPRA registration.

  • A valid and current unrestricted driver’s license.

  • Demonstrated understanding and experience of aged care issues, the aged care service system (My Aged Care) and empathy with older adults is essential.

  • The ability to work autonomously, make decisions, organise own workload and monitor own performance to achieve predetermined targets.

  • A compassionate, flexible and positive approach to effective patient care and management.

  • The ability to nurture friendly, respectful relationships and contribute to a collaborative team environment.

You will also be required to provide evidence of, or in the process of obtaining:
