  • Do you enjoy working with consumers to build their capacity and reach set goals?
  • Are you a creative problem solver motivated by your contribution to real outcomes for real people?

Over 80% of our staff tell us that we have a happy workplace with a team dedicated to supporting our consumers and each other. If you’re looking to move away from the hustle and bustle of a busy healthcare environment and really dedicate quality time to working with consumers to reach their goals, then read on as this is the perfect opportunity for you!

About the role

As a Windermere Paediatric Physiotherapist, you will manage a caseload and:

  • Deliver a broad range of evidence informed intervention strategies, standardised assessments and parent training to increase communication and active participation in social and educational settings for children;
  • Undertake face to face consultation and relationship building in natural environments, schools and kindergartens as well as our modern office facilities and therapy spaces;
  • Liaise and collaborate with a transdisciplinary team to design and deliver comprehensive support plans; and
  • Provide key worker support and advice to families and children in relation to speaking, listening, understanding language, fluency and social skills.

We know living in a COVID world can result in living with a level of uncertainty, but you can be certain of job security at Winderere as this is a permanent full-time position. We also offer a hybrid model of working remotely from home and meeting with consumers in their natural surroundings or within our offices in Berwick, Cranbourne and / or Pakenham.

About you

You will have a tertiary qualification within Physiotherapy and hold a current registration with AHPRA. Furthermore you will have specialist knowledge and relevant demonstrated experience within a paediatric practice. You are confident and enthusiastic with a ‘can-do’ attitude. You are self-motivated and can work independently to meet set targets, as well as forming part of a collaborative, family focused and holistic transdisciplinary team. You are adaptable and resilient and thrive in a fast-paced environment where continuous improvement of your practice ensures you make a real and lasting difference to the lives of your consumers.
