About the Role
Attention all local Physiotherapy students!
The Physiotherapy Department at GV Health is currently recruiting for Undergraduate Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) to join our team in a casual capacity, at our Graham St campus. These are dedicated AHA roles specifically for Physiotherapy students whilst they are studying and/or completing their clinical placements. We have a large team consisting of Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists and Allied Health Assistants, who are responsible for providing services to the acute & subacute wards, and also the outpatient and community services.
The AHA may assist the Physiotherapy team to deliver client centred services across different areas of the hospital and in the community. The role involves completing a variety of direct and indirect clinical and administrative tasks. The AHA may assist a client to complete an exercise program, or activity of daily living, assist with facilitating a group program, order, clean and manage deliver of equipment and assist with the co-ordination of resources required for health professionals and clients.
The AHA will work within the Physiotherapy Department but occasionally may work or be delegated appropriate tasks under the direction of other Allied Health Professionals such as Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Dietitians and Social Workers.
