Your Role

Working with Own Body will see you become part of a collaborative community of passionate, dedicated and thoughtful healthcare professionals. Your work will be varied and you will have plenty of autonomy to plan your day by booking appointments around your own schedule. All therapists are fully supported and

maintain regular communications with head office before and after each appointment.

You will treat clients with a variety of conditions, co-morbidities and some complex cases to get you really thinking!

Your caseload commonly includes general skin and nail care, wound prevention, post-surgical, maintenance and rehabilitation therapy for client with disabilities. Clinicians are not required to take on clients outside of their skill set.

We are growing quickly so there are a number of flexible positions available (Full Time, Part Time and Casual) offering between 5-38 hours per week. Positions can be ideal for clinicians with other commitments, including those on maternity or study leave, around school/kinder drops offs or between other part time work.

You will also be responsible for educating and training care givers. Most importantly though, you will be helping our wonderful clients achieve their own potential – improving lives and making a difference is what we do!
