We call ourselves the dream team! Our workplace is friendly and supportive, but will also challenge you to grow and learn new skills. We are dedicated to being a great team and are very proud to have been awarded as an Employer of Choice here in Tasmania.

We currently have the following vacancy available:

Hand & Wrist Therapy

Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist

We are looking for someone special to join our team and it might be you! (or someone you know.... pass it along!)

This position WOULD BE A GREAT MATCH for you if:

You are looking for a career in hand and upper limb therapy that allows you to grow for the long term
You love working in hand therapy and client outcomes light you up
You like problem solving in assessments
Making splints is your jam, and you enjoy being creative in therapy sessions
You enjoy being around clients and welcome them with a big smile

You don’t mind rolling up your sleeves and being part of a great team

You love efficiency and have the initiative to get things done when you see they are needed
You value yourself as a person. You are humble and kind and honesty is important to you.

We are looking for a therapist who has some hand and upper limb therapy experience already - maybe you have completed a university placement in hand therapy, or been working where you have had some exposure to a hand therapy role, or... maybe you have been putting yourself through hand therapy courses waiting for the right job to come up? We have leadership opportunities for those wanting to step into something more.

We are keen for someone with good skills in splinting and skills to assess and treat a variety of hand injuries and conditions. You will get the opportunity to work closely with local plastic and orthopaedic surgeons and local GPs, and be part of a small business that is growing. We are based in Launceston, Tasmania and we value our staff, their time, and their skills. We are looking for someone to mentor and train who also wants to grow. We promise a workplace that will challenge and stretch you as well as care and support you. We are a determined and driven team but we also know how to have fun.  

Ideally we are looking for someone who is available full time, however if you are looking to return to work after having children and school hours suits you better, or you can’t quite commit to full time at the moment because you are studying or care for someone,  please still apply as we are happy to be flexible for the right person. 

Perks of the job include:

Free and wide-ranging training opportunities with yearly training allowance

Regular internal in-services and mentoring for clinical skill development
Opportunity to be involved in additional activities such as research, teaching and developing additional services for the practice.
