About Ascend

We're looking for a therapist with 0+ years of experience who are keen to help deliver NDIS community therapy, and (optionally - if they're interested) regularly supervise and coach regular small cohorts of allied health placement students and student support workers. We're collaborating with universities to provide quality student learning experiences.

Cultural Fit

We're looking for therapists who get a kick out of helping people to achieve their goals and live a outstanding life (whether they're aged 5 or 105), therapists who are keen to learn and grow, and therapists who are keen to help us do therapy better. If you love healthcare, enjoy learning, and/or want to help coach university students as well, you'll be a great fit.

Perth City Hub

We have some lovely meeting rooms and collaboration spaces with river views to help you feel uplifted and enjoy the workspace!

Schedule

Our therapists aim for 4 community sessions a day, which gives us the chance to aim for the quality of services they want to provide. We spend lots of time focusing your caseload as close to home as possible (generally within a 30-minute radius) or optimising travel, so more time can be spent benefiting the community rather than driving. Sometimes a little extra travel is needed at the start.

Caseload Autonomy

Schedule and manage your caseload according to what works. We feel it is important when possible to schedule therapist caseloads at times that work for everyone, in the locations that work for everyone, and to work with the caseload they feel most confident with - while still ensuring you're still growing and developing new skills, and occasionally getting outside your comfort zone.

Work from Home or Office

Our therapists have the option of working from home whenever they need, or they can attend our offices and co-working spaces when they're not delivering services in the community. We have a beautiful Perth Office in the CBD that helps you to enjoy working away from home, and a therapy dog called Bruno who'll occasionally be in too. We get everyone to at least come into the office on a Thursday, just so there's a default regular time to get to know your colleagues and collaborate with everyone - but there's always friendly faces to be seen at the office.
