Choose your perfect schedule to suit your lifestyle Our wonderful team across Melbourne, greater Victoria, Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart and Launceston are changing the face of rehabilitation. As the population ages and more people remain in home, we want to provide the choice for clients to continue their recovery and live independently in the comfort and convenience of their own environment. Own Body was initially created as a mobile physiotherapy service in Melbourne, branching into podiatry and occupational therapy, as well as expanding interstate over recent years. We are growing at 50% year on year and are focussed on expanding our service offerings and locations. This means there are plenty of opportunities arising for those who wish to develop their skill sets and be part of an evolving company. We don't have a central office; everything is coordinated remotely so our team can work in their local area. Own Body has been recognised in the 2019 Telstra Business Women's Awards for our innovation in home health and our approach to flexibility and supporting our amazing team. Our management and administration team work hard to minimise the bureaucracy and paperwork, enabling our clinicians to do what they love: provide great service and spend their time connecting with our clients. We empower each other to provide outstanding service and celebrate success. Our team proudly achieves an average client feedback rating of at least 9/10 or above every month. We provide a comprehensive orientation process to all team members. Our supervision and support structure in place ensures that our team feel connected and well supported at all times.Client Focused - Honest, values-based organisation with the clients experience front of mindFlexibility - create your ideal scheduleProfessional Development - a supportive team with ongoing training and fortnightly mentoringValues - Connection Holistic Enablement Experience & Remarkable PeoplePerks - Our team LOVE the support we offer, including our amazing administration team, tech systems, mentoring and access to our whole team clinical discussions.

Your caseload commonly includes general skin and nail care, wound prevention, post surgical, maintenance and rehabilitation therapy for clients with disabilities. Clinicians are not required to take on clients outside of their skill set. You will also be responsible for educating and training caregivers. Most importantly though, you will be helping our wonderful clients achieve their own potential - improving lives and making a difference is what we do! You're in luck! We are growing quickly so there are a number of flexible positions available (Full Time, Part Time and Casual), offering between 5-38 hours per week. Positions can be ideal for clinicians with other commitments, including those on maternity or study leave, around school/kinder drops offs or between other part time work.

Although their medical conditions vary, our clients predominantly include people who want to remain independent at home or recover from injury or surgery at home. They range from clients needing minimal input to those requiring a comprehensive and interdisciplinary rehabilitation and lifestyle management plan, that is, we have a great range to keep our team engaged and challenged on an ongoing basis. We work with clients under various funding models too, primarily home care packages, private health early supported discharge rehabilitation (hospital substitution) programs, restorative programs (such as TPC and STRC), private clients and to a smaller extent, clients under the NDIS. Clinicians are not required to take on clients outside of their skillset, however, we do offer plenty of support to help our team develop their expertise in fields they are interested in. We also have a strong focus on active over passive therapies (no massage tables here!) How flexible is flexible? Great question! As a mobile business compared to private practice or facility, we are not competing for treatment space; we could literally have every single clinician working at the exact same time! What's most important to us is that our team and clients are supported and provided with options to suit their lifestyles. We have a variety of roles, and here's how each work:Casual - our casual team picks and choose their caseload and days/hour of work. Some choose to see 1 client after their other employment, some like to be really busy on the days they have available. Our team are trusted with the responsibility of booking and communicating with their clients to ensure they are seen in a timely manner or referring on to another team member when timetables clash, always ensuring our clients are cared for. In other words, ultimate flexibility with necessary responsibility!Part-time - when the security of permanent work is more desirable, some team members choose part-time employment. Our team choose their days and hours depending on their regular availability. Someone working 15 hours per week might choose to work 5 hours each Mon/Wed/Fri to cater for school pick-ups/drop-offs, 7.5 hours each Tues/Thurs 7.5 hours, 3 hours a day every weekday or any other combination that works best for them. Some clinicians also choose to allocate their paid admin time to the following day so they can make the most use of their 'away from home' on-road availability.Full time - many of our team members choose to utilise an RDO model, 4 long/1 short day model, or even an alternating fortnight - we are open to all options! Are there opportunities to supervise/mentor and be supervised/mentored? Absolutely. We have plenty of opportunities for informal mentoring and student supervision, and as a growing organisation we are constantly recruiting, thus the need to diversify our supervision team continues to grow as well. We do not expect our team to be experts from day 1. We provide weekly, then fortnightly Connection Calls to ensure our team feel supported, and connected and have the opportunity to ask as many questions as they like. We also have multiple channels for informal clinical and administrative support where team members from across the country help each other to problem solve. We only hire Remarkable People and as such, they are remarkably helpful to all team members! Is there a professional development program on offer? Yes! We host monthly inservices run by internal team members and paid external speakers. Most of these are recorded for future viewing and new team members will have free access to an extensive range of previous recordings. In addition, each team is linked with a dedicated experienced supervisor who will provide regular Connection Calls (weekly, then fortnightly once the team member is established). We also facilitate an active Clinical Chat group where our remarkable team from all over the country help each other problem solve for their clients. Is there a CPD allowance? Our permanent team receive a generous CPD allowance. Do I need to provide my own equipment? eg Laptop, phone, car, clinical equipment? We provide clinical equipment and resources, however on the most part our team provide their own laptop/tablet, phone and car. We'd love to be in an Oprah-like position to provide cars for everyone, but with over 80 team members, many of whom are casuals and working all over the country, it's not quite feasible. click apply for full job details
