About the Role
We’re looking for a passionate and dedicated Occupational Therapist Grade 2 to join our team part-time ongoing at Monash Health in a 0.8EFT position. You will be working within the geriatric evaluation and management (GEM) stream to provide meaningful intervention to older frail adults.
You’ll be part of a large, supportive subacute service, delivering high-quality occupational therapy in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. This is an exciting time to work in GEM with several model of care changes that look at making a real impact to the frail older population. This role is fast-paced, rewarding, and integral to delivering exceptional rehabilitation outcomes.
As an Occupational Therapist, you’ll empower patients to engage in meaningful activities and improve their quality of life. Your day will include:
Conducting occupational assessments
Collaboratively setting goals with patients and the multidisciplinary team
Delivering occupation-based interventions that have a real impact
You’ll work closely with allied health, nursing, and medical staff in a supportive environment that encourages shared learning and joint treatment planning. You will have supervision and support to have hands on clinical learning with:

Why Join Us?
There’s something incredibly rewarding about helping an older person get back to the things that matter to them — whether that’s returning home safely, rebuilding their confidence or simply being able to do more for themselves. In GEM, the small wins can make a big difference. As an Occupational Therapist, you’ll have the opportunity to see the impact of your work every day, while being part of a team that genuinely values what you bring.
You’ll also be joining us at an exciting time, as we rethink and evolve how we care for frail older people. Your ideas, experience and OT perspective will have a voice in that change.

A welcoming and collaborative multidisciplinary team
Strong clinical support from senior OTs, educators and Grade 4 specialists
