Ready for your next adventure while making a genuine impact in mental health? This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Occupational Therapist to join a public health service in stunning Western Australia.
Working within an acute inpatient mental health unit, you'll play a key role supporting consumers through some of the most challenging stages of their recovery, while enjoying everything regional & coastal WA has to offer outside of work.
The Role
You'll be managing an acute inpatient mental health caseload alongside a supportive multidisciplinary team, working with adults experiencing a range of complex presentations including:
- Schizophrenia
- Depression
- Drug-induced psychosis
- Patients in the acute phase of mental illness
As the sole Occupational Therapist within the service, you'll need to be confident working independently, managing your own caseload, and providing high-quality, patient-centred care while collaborating closely with the wider MDT.
About You
We're looking for someone who has:
- AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
- Experience working in acute or inpatient mental health
- Level 1 or Level 2 clinician experience
- Confidence working autonomously while contributing effectively within a multidisciplinary team
- Excellent clinical reasoning and communication skills
What's on Offer?
- Up to $70 per hour + Super (depending on experience)
- Free shared accommodation
- $400 travel reimbursement for flights
- Minimum 6-week contract with robust potential to extend
- Full support from the CMR team throughout your placement
Why WA?
Imagine finishing work and watching the sun set over the turquoise waters of Cable Beach, exploring the famous Staircase to the Moon, or spending weekends discovering this incredible part of the country. This contract offers the perfect mix of meaningful work and unforgettable adventure.
If you're looking for a rewarding mental health locum where you can utilise your skills, work autonomously, and experience one of Australia's most iconic destinations, we'd love to hear from you.
