To thrive in this role, you will have:
* A recognised degree in Occupational Therapy and AHPRA registration.
* A valid and current unrestricted driver's license.
* Demonstrated understanding and experience of aged care issues, the aged care service system (My Aged Care) and empathy with older adults is essential.
* The ability to work autonomously, make decisions, organise own workload and monitor own performance to achieve predetermined targets.
* A compassionate, flexible and positive approach to effective patient care and management.
* The ability to nurture friendly, respectful relationships and contribute to a collaborative team environment.
You will also be required to provide evidence of, or in the process of obtaining:
