Role Overview
Location: Dubbo, NSW, Australia.
Position: Dubbo Team Leader – full-time or part-time options available.
A fantastic opportunity exists to join Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) as the Team Leader of the Dubbo Therapy Team! CPA is a ground-breaking, global centre of expertise for cerebral palsy research, advocacy, intervention and assistive technology innovation.
As a Team Leader / Senior Therapist you will have the opportunity to not only support our local therapy team but also enhance your leadership skills and join CPA's Therapy Leadership team which is spread across NSW and the ACT.
Team Overview
The Dubbo therapy team consists of 9 local therapists including occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech pathologists. The multidisciplinary team is supported by a Client Services Consultant, a local Team Leader and a Therapy Manager.
Our Therapy centre in Gipps Street is about to undergo an exciting refurbishment, and the local team has access to all resources required to best support our clients and families. The team also provides services in the community and works closely with the team in Orange to service clients across the Orana region / Central West.
Role Essentials
This position is currently full-time with half of your week spent leading the team – supported by the site's Therapy Manager – and the other half spent managing a caseload as a senior therapist.
You will be supported not only by Dubbo's Therapy Manager (to whom the position reports) but by a network of therapy leaders across CPA. You will have access to various modes of leadership training including online courses and face‐to‐face sessions facilitated by Regional Managers, internal business partners and external subject matter experts.
