Neurological Physiotherapist - Sydney

Are you ready for a lifestyle change – sunny skies and warm weather, endless beaches and bush walking, having the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge on your doorstep and being able to explore Australia wide? We are looking for a passionate physiotherapist with expertise in neurological rehab to come and join our state-of-the-art rehab centre in Sydney, Australia.

This role would suit someone who thrives on learning, developing and being surrounded by like-minded, supportive people.

If this sounds like you, this role at Advance Rehab Centre is for you.

About the opportunity:

We are a team of multidisciplinary clinicians, working in an outpatient clinic and community-based rehab service covering most of Metro Sydney. 

Over the last 15 years, we have built a reputation as one of the most progressive neurological rehab services in Australia - winning the Australian Allied Health Adult Practice Excellence Award in 2019 and the Australian Allied Health Team Culture Excellence Award in 2021. Our rehab centre is located in the Lower North Shore of Sydney (Artarmon) and we have a second clinic opening in South Sydney in early 2022 (Hurstville). Both locations are easy commutes from very desirable living suburbs. Our community roles can be flexible and offer an amazing opportunity to build client independence and dignity in their home where it matters.

We would consider full-time and part-time positions. There is also the opportunity to work on Saturdays, if desired.

The caseload is 100% neurological and can range from complex brain or spinal cord injuries to newly diagnosed Parkinson’s. As a team member you would be trained in our PD Warrior program, intensive rehab approach and in the use of robotics and technology such as the LEXO by Tyromotion and their upper limb suite. As a team we are always looking to stretch ourselves and leave no stone unturned for our clients.
