• Inpatient & outpatient caseload
• Mid/late May for 3 months + possible extension
• $$ Locum rates + FREE accommodation

 
Locum Occupational Therapist required for regional South Australian health services. Join a large multidisciplinary team to provide treatments across inpatients and outpatients.
 
This regional service is a 4 hour drive north of Adelaide (or a quick plane flight) with its breathtaking beaches and vibrant community. Enjoy a welcoming community, awe-inspiring landscapes, and an invigorating outdoor lifestyle.
 
The region offers a relaxed lifestyle, breath taking views, endless adventures and friendly and diverse communities. With a short commute to work, you’ll have more time in your day to relax or explore the many attractions of the Flinders and Upper North region. With wide-open spaces, parks and sports and access to many recreational activities, you’ll find something to enjoy outside of work.
 
 

The Occupational Therapist applies clinical experience, increasingly generalist and / or specialist clinical knowledge and professional competence to plan, implement and evaluate a comprehensive and integrated range of services, appropriate to the needs of the local community. The Occupational Therapist works under reduced clinical direction, and may contribute to the clinical supervision of less experienced allied health professionals, allied health assistants and students. As a member of a multi-professional team, including health professionals and service providers from other sectors, the Occupational Therapist utilises a combination of preventative, early intervention, treatment / therapy and evaluation approaches
 

• Working within the rehabilitation and clinical services (acute) teams to provide services to both inpatients and outpatients. The patients involved a broad range of presentations including orthopaedics, neurological, surgical, oncology, falls and general deconditioning with various functional abilities.
• The Occupational Therapy role in this setting involved completing assessments (including initial assessments, cognitive assessments and functional assessments (showering, kitchen, transfers, toileting etc.)), goal setting with patients, providing interventions to support patients to achieve their goals and complex discharge planning.

 
 
The team is social and inclusive, I’ve placed 20+ locums with this service and the feedback is positive. Locum rates from $60-$70 per hour + super + option for living away from home tax beneifts - more take home pay! Free accommodation provided.

 
Working in regional Australia offers the chance to work within close knit communities. As part of smaller teams, you will access a wider range of patients and develop your clinical expertise. These roles offer great rates of pay, accommodation and the chance to broaden your skill set within a range of healthcare settings.
