You build trust quickly, communicate with confidence and enjoy working alongside others to solve complex challenges. You'll take pride in helping people understand their options, make informed decisions and access support that improves their quality of life. You're not just looking for your next role, you're looking for an opportunity to create positive impact while continuing to grow professionally.

Here's what will help you thrive in this role:

- Registration or professional membership relevant to Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Psychology or Social Work.
- Experience working with older people in aged care,



community care or a related clinical setting.
- Strong clinical reasoning, assessment and communication skills.
- A collaborative approach with a commitment to continuous learning and quality improvement.

You'll stand out from the crowd if you have postgraduate study relevant to aged care and/or experience working across diverse community or regional health settings.

Most importantly, you'll bring compassion, integrity, dignity, innovation and courage to every interaction, helping improve the lives of older people across our communities.
