Why Join Thrive?
At Thrive Canberra Home Physio, we deliver high-quality, compassionate allied health care to older adults who want to remain independent, active, and kicking their goals at home, as well as people living with disability, across Canberra.
We're a small, purpose-driven team built on trust, flexibility, and clinical integrity. We believe great care happens when clinicians are supported, given time with their clients, and trusted to do their work well — without rushed clinic sessions or micromanagement.
We're currently growing our team and seeking experienced clinicians for the following roles:
* Part-time Community Physiotherapist (hours negotiable)
* Part-time Community Occupational Therapist (hours negotiable)
Both roles offer genuine flexibility, autonomy, and strong professional support within a collaborative multidisciplinary team.
