Bethanie is a leading not-for-profit aged care provider based in Western Australia. For 70 years, we have been empowering ageing Australians to lead their most meaningful lives by recognising ‘old age’ as a positive force in society and giving a voice to those who have seen it all and live to tell the tale.
We’re on a mission to create a better world not just for ageing Australians, but their communities as well, and we believe that to make this difference, you need the right people by your side.
We currently have an opportunity for an Occupational Therapist to join the team at Bethanie Peel Aged Care Home, located in Mandurah, to provide support during a period of leave. Bethanie Peel is a warm and welcoming 50-bed facility set amongst landscaped gardens, with a personalised memory support area.
If you share our passion for person-centred therapy services and promoting a positive ageing experience for older people, we would love to hear from you!
In this role, you will be responsible for the effective and efficient delivery of customer-centred therapy and lifestyle programs, working closely with the multidisciplinary team to improve the quality of life of our residents.
This role is offered on a fixed-term part-time basis, with the successful applicant working 13 hours per week until 23 February 2026, with the potential for extension. The roster is negotiable and can be discussed further at interview.
Our Therapy Team consists of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, a Senior Dietitian, and a Senior Speech Pathologist. The team is supported by a full-time Allied Health Manager and a Senior Therapy Team Lead with over a decade of experience as an Occupational Therapist in aged care.
