The clinical skills you may bring to the role will work in achieving an optimal state of personal, social and emotional wellbeing, as defined by the individual needs of each person. You will achieve this by working with them to identify barriers to optimal functioning through interventions that focus on enhancing existing skills, creating opportunities, promoting wellness, remediating or restoring skills, modifying or adapting the environment or activity, and preventing relapse.

  • Participate in regular discipline specific and MDT meetings to debrief, share ideas/ resources and to receive training
  • Build relationships and establish rapport not only with clients but also their families or carers where appropriate
  • Feel a sense of satisfaction from seeing your clients making progress
  • Enjoy the freedom, flexibility and the range of experiences that come with working in the community

We are also requesting that the successful candidate be comfortable following NSW Health COVID and flu vaccination requirements.
