What your day could look like
As a Senior Physiotherapist, you'll play a vital role in supporting older adults to maintain independence and recover safely in their own environment. From providing advanced clinical care in home-based and virtual settings to collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, your work will directly shape patient outcomes and experiences across the continuum of care.
Every day, you'll contribute by:
Delivering advanced physiotherapy care that improves mobility, recovery and quality of life for older patients
Partnering with patients, families and health professionals to create coordinated, person-centred care plans
Leading service improvements that enhance care delivery across hospital-at-home and inpatient services
Mentoring team members and contributing to a culture of learning, innovation and clinical excellence
Let's talk about you!
You bring both expertise and empathy to your work, with the confidence to manage complex clinical situations and the compassion to truly connect with patients and families. You're someone who values collaboration, takes initiative, and looks for opportunities to improve how care is delivered. You'll feel proud knowing your work helps older people stay safe, independent and supported in their community.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
Current registration as a Physiotherapist with relevant professional body
Strong clinical experience managing complex caseloads with autonomy
Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-focused mindset
Ability to lead improvement initiatives and support others' development
You'll stand out from the crowd if you have experience in geriatric, community or virtual care settings and/or postgraduate study or advanced training in physiotherapy practice.
Most importantly, you're committed to delivering care with compassion, integrity, dignity, innovation and courage, making a meaningful difference to individuals and the wider community.
