About the Role:
In this temporary part-time role, you’ll play a key part in supporting older people leaving hospital to safely transition back home - helping them regain independence and live well where they belong.
This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be out in the community, visiting clients in their homes, assessing their functional needs, and providing therapy that makes a tangible difference.
Working closely with the multidisciplinary TACP team, you’ll help set care goals, deliver interventions, and guide clients through short-term reablement with dignity and empathy.
In this role, you’ll:
- Deliver community-based occupational therapy for aged care clients post-hospital discharge
- Conduct in-home assessments and implement person-centred treatment plans
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to ensure safe transitions of care
- Help clients improve function, achieve independence, and reach their personal goals
- Support the overall success of the TACP program in line with Commonwealth guidelines
About You:
You’re more than clinically capable - you’re compassionate, flexible and know how to build rapport with older adults.
You take pride in person-centred care, communicating effectively and adapting to client needs in real-world settings.
Whether you’re new to the profession or bringing experience, what matters most is your commitment to quality care and team collaboration.
You must have:
- AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
- Demonstrated interest in aged care and community-based rehabilitation
- Strong interpersonal, assessment and documentation skills
- Confidence working independently in client homes and coordinating with a team
- A current driver’s licence and access to reliable transport
Why Join Us?
At Manning Hospital’s Aged Care Services, you’ll find more than just a role - you’ll find purpose.
Join a supportive and passionate team working across TACP, Psychogeriatrics, SAS, and Dementia Support, with guidance from experienced team leaders and clinical supervision provided.
Enjoy opportunities for online learning (including CHIME), external training, and professional development as part of a forward-thinking aged care service.
