We see Allied Health Assistants as skilled and valued members of the clinical team.The role is different from that of an Occupational Therapist, Speech Pathologist or Dietitian — but different doesn't mean less important.A skilled AHA provides consistency,



helps clients practise and consolidate skills between clinician-led interventions, develops trusted therapeutic relationships and makes an important contribution to meaningful outcomes.We also recognise that expertise develops within Allied Health Assistance itself.You'll have opportunities to deepen your skills, work alongside experienced clinicians, participate in multidisciplinary learning and develop particular areas of clinical interest as your role evolves.We offer:A role that values your existing experience and professional maturityRegular clinical supervision and supportOpportunities for ongoing professional developmentExposure to multidisciplinary allied health practicePurpose-built Therapy Kitchen environmentsOpportunities to develop areas of particular expertiseOngoing relationships with clients and familiesA workplace where Allied Health Assistance is respected as a meaningful careerThe opportunity to contribute to a growing multidisciplinary service.Employment is under the Health Professionals and Support Services Award – Support Services stream, with classification and remuneration based on qualifications, experience and the requirements of the role.Your LocationsYou'll work across our two Therapy Kitchen locations:Therapy Kitchen – Ascot Vale532 Mt Alexander RoadAscot Vale VICTherapy Kitchen – Croydon435 Dorset RoadCroydon VICWhile this role works across both Ascot Vale and Croydon, we value roster stability.

You don't need to have followed a traditional pathway into allied health to be the person we're looking for.We've built a career as an Allied Health Assistant.
Or you may bring significant experience from another part of health, disability, education or community services and recognise that those skills could translate exceptionally well into this role.We're looking for someone with experience, reliability and professional maturity who wants to make Allied Health Assistance a valued part of their career.If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
