The Thrive Spot Illawarra – Wollongong NSW
The Thrive Spot is seeking a Physiotherapist who is passionate about supporting children with disabilities in the Illawarra. Our focus is to provide quality care to our clients and their families within home, clinic, school, and community environments.
We are currently looking for a full-time and/or part-time Physiotherapist to work with our existing multidisciplinary team of experienced therapists including Speechies, OT, Dietetics, Psych, and Chiro.
Your caseload will vary greatly, working with children from 0 to 18 years old with different needs, and you will have a team to support you with any form of administration.
We are extremely passionate about creating a sustainable working environment with low billable targets and a strong focus on ensuring staff have the resources and administration support they need to assess and treat our clients. Our team also has fortnightly supervision and team meetings, as well as offers external professional development. We value quality over quantity and autonomy.
We offer a flexible workplace, so if you need to start later, finish early, or spread hours over a certain number of days - that is fine by us!
We are centrally located in Dapto with multiple clinic rooms including a large sensory playroom. Therapists share a large office space, reception area, and staff kitchen, as well as a central resource storage area full of resources.
Our clinic director is an experienced Speech Pathologist whose area of expertise is AAC and complex paediatric clients, and our Senior Occupational Therapist loves all things sensory integration. We would love to expand our one-stop clinic with a passionate neuro-inclusive physiotherapist to continue to improve the outcomes for our clients.
We are offering an annual professional development budget as well as a competitive salary and superannuation. We also have a rewards system in place for our team for clinical KPIs being met!
So why would you want to work with us:
Flexibility to have control over your caseload based on your clinical interests and skills.A high level of genuine support and supervision including regular operational supervision from your team leader and weekly clinical supervision as a priority.We set you up for success with ample resources and an ongoing resource budget - need a Minecraft Lego or a Bluey house…no problems!Professional Development - You will also have an annual professional development budget and paid days to attend the PD. Your team leader will work with you to design a bespoke learning plan that will be a mix of external and internal PD.Bonuses - A bonus system is in place for clinicians who meet their clinical hours for the month - you've done the hard work and you deserve to be rewarded without having to hit targets well above expected clinical hours.Work from Home - Want to do non-face-to-face work or finish off the day's notes from home? No problems. Need to stop work to pick up the kids and finish off things later? No problems. Our Directors have their own small children and highly value this workplace flexibility for therapists with a level of mutual respect and trust.Culture - We genuinely care about and support each other and we hope this shines through in everything that we do. We have quarterly out-of-hours events (Bowling, Axe Throwing, Escape Rooms - just to name a few) as well as regular lunch catch-ups and school holiday training days! Working surrounded by a team of people we like being around makes work feel a lot less like work for us, and we hope it will for you too.New Graduates or soon-to-be graduates are welcome to apply - finishing your degree in 2024, don't wait to apply!
