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:

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.

And while you’re supporting your patients to achieve their goals, we’ll support you to achieve yours, with:

• A welcoming and collaborative multidisciplinary team
• Strong clinical support from senior OTs, educators and Grade 4 specialists
• Opportunities to grow your skills across specialties, departments and sites
• Career development and progression across a large health service
• Opportunities to contribute to research, quality improvement and service innovation
