A rare opportunity to become the founding physiotherapist within an established allied health team
Are you an experienced physiotherapist who enjoys the front end of rehabilitation: understanding the injury, completing a thorough assessment, establishing a clear plan and helping someone begin their recovery well?
Hunter Rehabilitation and Health is appointing our first physiotherapist.
You will work alongside an experienced team of Accredited Exercise Physiologists, with the role focused predominantly on WorkCover initial assessments, acute musculoskeletal injury management and early recovery planning.
This is not a traditional private practice role built around carrying a large, long term treatment caseload.
The role is weighted toward quality initial assessment, early intervention, clear clinical reasoning, timely communication and helping each client enter the right rehabilitation pathway.
As our founding physiotherapist, you will also have the opportunity to influence our clinical pathways, shape how the service develops and create a seamless transition from acute injury management into active rehabilitation.
