Key Traits of Recovery Station:
We love what we do because every role here contributes to making a positive difference in the lives of others
Collaborating with passionate, likeminded colleagues facilitates personal and professional growth
Keeping personalised care at the heart of what we do challenges us to seek new and innovative ways to deliver the best possible service
The Role
As a community- based team, we predominantly see our clients in their homes, group homes, aged care facilities or in a public setting that's relevant for them. We want to see our clients where they are most comfortable and that's relevant to their goals.
Some of our team schedule a full day of seeing 3 or 4 clients one day, then balance this the next by working from home or having an office day to write reports, prepare resources, have supervision / training. Or you can mix things up and split your day depending how you like to work!
A community role is great as it allows you to have genuine flexibility and control over how you structure your days and therefore you don't miss your afternoon sport or having the social life you've sacrificed whilst studying!
You will gain lots of variety in this role as you service a predominantly adult, NDIS & DVA caseload (12 yrs old and up) living with:
Developmental disabilities (autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, Down syndrome)
Neurological conditions (stroke, acquired brain injury, brain tumour, multiple sclerosis)
Degenerative diseases (Parkinson’s disease, MS, motor neurone disease, Huntington’s disease, dementia)
In your Grad Program you will be supported to:
Speech:
Conduct various assessments such as Speech, Language or Swallowing
Provide ongoing therapy and mealtime management plans
Gain exposure to clients with a range of speech pathology diagnosis including: non-verbal, dysphagia, dyspraxia, aphasia, pragmatics, voice clients.
OT:
Support clients with a range of tasks such as life skills - budgeting/shopping/travel/ cooking, pressure care, sensory, cognitive re-training, prescribing equipment and assistive tech, upper limb + fine & gross motor therapy plus home assessments and modifications (initially minor and you can receive more training in complex mods)
Comprehensive assessment and reporting eg initials, functional capacity, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) or Activities of Daily Living (ADL) & SIL or ILO
Alongside having the freedom to work from home, we have an office in Erina so you can have a home base. Depending where you live we'll ensure you see clients in your area and you can also choose to use the office for client appointments, to write reports and spend time with your Supervisor and hang out with other new Grads!
How We Make an Impact
Recovery Station provides community and clinic based allied health services, with a strong focus on disability and senior health. For 20 years we have grown and now proudly offer services in the community across Sydney, the Hunter, Central Coast, Tamworth and nationally via telepractice.
Together, our passionate multidisciplinary team of OTs, Mental Health OT’s, Psychologists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Dietitians and Allied Health Assistants collaboratively share their knowledge and experience to holistically design an individualised service to help improve the quality of life for people living with a disability or looking to age as independently as possible.
How Our Grad Program Will Empower Your Future
We believe that when you choose us for your Graduate role, you are entrusting us with teaching you the core skills that will form the foundation for an amazing career to come. With this in mind, we've set out a structured, comprehensive 12-month plan:
You will start with a classroom style orientation so you can meet your team, play around with your new laptop and our online database and do some pre-reading and training modules
Ridealong with your supervisor so you can observe & ask questions (we can do a day of this in your interview process if you haven't had a community placement but want to know if you'll like it)
Your supervisor will then begin letting you take the reins and providing feedback so that you'll feel confident when you begin seeing clients independently
You will receive daily and weekly supervision and support one on one plus monthly team training sessions
Access additional training content anytime via our online resource library
Attend multi-disciplinary meetings and enjoy opportunities for collaboration as you share clients with other disciplines
Companywide annual training day for the entire business (circa 130) to come together to learn from external presenters tailored each discipline
Once you've settled in, if you find you're particularly passionate about a certain area, we have pathways to clinical specialisation such as Neuro, dysphagia or AAC for the speechies or home mods, AT or Mental Health for the OT's.
You've worked hard to get to this point so we need have some fun at work too:
To bring us together as a team, we have a fun wellbeing program that involves monthly social events. Previously we've gone to mini golf, ten pin bowling, wheelchair basketball + rugby, made dumplings, candles and gingerbread houses, paint & sip, brought in a professional masseuse and celebrated important dates such as International Women's Day, mental health month and many others
We will celebrate the milestones in your Grad program with a Graduate celebration at your 12-month mark
To allow you more time to focus on clinical work you will have someone allocated to you in our admin team to assist with booking client appointments for you. Your travel is reimbursed at $0.99/km and you also receive phone/ data and laundry allowances
You'll have an office filled with clinical resources (plus snacks to fuel you too)
Novated leasing options
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance covered for you
Ability to transfer between offices if you move one day
Discounted Health Insurance for you and your family plus other everyday savings on your Energy Bill, gyms, retail, groceries, petrol and much more
An Employee Assistance Program is available to provide external, confidential support
The Next Steps
Below you can hear from our current and past Grads and there's more of us available on our social media + FAQ's on our Youtube.
