You will develop, implement and deliver innovative individualised and group programs that promote healthy ageing, reablement and best‑practice dementia care. You will share your skills and experience with a great care team eager to learn, and work autonomously with residents to achieve the best care outcomes whilst collaborating with an interdisciplinary Allied Health team.

  • Participate as a member of the HammondCare team in the application of the Mission and values to pursue person‑centred, continuous quality improvement objectives.
  • Participate in quality improvement projects and continuing professional development.

Qualifications

  • Commitment to engage and align with HammondCare’s Christian Mission, Motivation and Mission in Action.
  • A tertiary qualification in Occupational Therapy and registration as an Occupational Therapist with AHPRA.
  • Practical experience or sound knowledge in Dementia (highly regarded) and Aged Care.
  • A current driver's licence, safe driving record and access to your own car, with a willingness to travel between HammondCare’s sites and services.
  • Effective communication and interpersonal skills, both written and verbal.
  • Demonstrated organisation and time‑management skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Benefits

  • Market‑leading remuneration and salary packaging, including $15,900 annually for living expenses and up to $2,650 each year for entertainment benefits.
  • Additional training and career development opportunities.
  • Leave benefits – additional annual leave can be purchased.
  • Reward and recognition programme.
  • Fitness Passports: full facility access can include gyms, group classes and pools for you and your family.
  • Free independent, confidential counselling services and wellbeing resources available through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for all employees.
  • Exclusive discounts at MyCar (servicing, brakes, repairs and tyre care plans) and commercial discounts for JB HI‑FI, The Good Guys, Optus, Dell and Samsung.
