Our "Why"
Recovery Station exists to empower people to live a quality life.
We believe in creating the ideal work environment for you because when you are happy, healthy, well-skilled and fulfilled, you're in the best position to have a positive impact on the wellbeing of everyone around you.

Key Traits of Recovery Station:
We love what we do because everyone's role contributes to helping our clients live a more independent, empowered life.
Collaborating with passionate, likeminded colleagues creates connection and facilitates personal and professional growth.
Keeping personalised care at the heart of what we do challenges us to seek new and innovative ways to deliver life-changing service.
Joining Recovery Station means aligning with a company that believes in empowering you and your future.

The Role
As a community-based team, we predominantly see our clients in their homes, group homes, aged care facilities, or in a public setting that's relevant for them, e.g., out and about testing a new wheelchair.
We want to see our clients where they are most comfortable and that's relevant to their goals.

Some of our team schedule a full day of seeing 3 or 4 clients one day, then balance this the next by working from home or having an office day to write reports, prepare resources, have supervision/training.
Or you can mix things up and split your day depending on how you like to work

A community role is great as it allows you to have genuine flexibility and control over how you structure your days, and therefore you don't miss your afternoon sport or being able to drop the kids to school in the mornings/pick them up in the afternoons

Depending on where you are living, we'll tailor your caseload to service clients close to home.
Your personalised admin support team will work with you to ensure you aren't zigzagging around Sydney and you'll have clients to see close to you.

Your role can be constructed as either full-time or part-time and we have offices in Neutral Bay, Liverpool and Blacktown for you to use.

Over time and in consultation with you, you will be taught how to confidently:
Service a predominantly adult, NDIS & DVA caseload (12 years old and up).
Support clients with a range of tasks such as life skills - budgeting/shopping/travel/cooking, pressure care, sensory, cognitive re-training, prescribing equipment and assistive tech, upper limb + fine & gross motor therapy plus home assessments and modifications (initially minor and you can receive more training in complex mods).
Comprehensive assessment and reporting e.g., initials, functional capacity, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) or Activities of Daily Living (ADL) & SIL or ILO.
We see clients with lifelong disabilities, neurological conditions (MND, MS, Parkinson's, Stroke), TBI/ABI, Autism/ASD, amputations, deaf or vision impairments and more, so you will have variety in your caseload.
If you have a foundation in residential aged care, paediatrics or hospital work and are curious about making the move to an adult, community caseload - reach out and let us know as we have a supportive team that is happy to help you make the transition.

Qualifications
Approved qualification in Occupational Therapy and AHPRA registration.
Current driver's license with use of own vehicle.

You deserve remuneration that matches your experience plus the option to stretch for RDOs and financial bonuses if you choose.
We trust you to work from home , or in the office, via telehealth and we give you a laptop and pay a phone/data allowance to support this.
A member of our administrative team will assist you with scheduling your appointments efficiently to minimise travel, to make calls and take messages for you whilst you're in sessions and to assist with the maintenance of compliance documentation, such as setting up and adjusting funding plans.
Travel is reimbursed at $0.99/km + tolls and parking at appointments.
Novated leasing options.
Ability to transfer between offices if you move one day.

Your thorough Orientation will be supported by ongoing one-on-ones with your Supervisor to discuss your goals with a personalised CPD plan.
We'll help you set your learning goals and plan what you'd like to upskill in.
For example, would you like to learn more about Mods, AT, Mental Health, Driving Assessments or receive more leadership training?
These will be complemented with monthly in-services with your fellow OTs so you can learn from external presenters, share ideas, resources and stay abreast of any industry updates.
We love facilitating development pathways for clinicians seeking career progression and added responsibility via either supervising students/grads/junior staff, increased complexity of caseload or involvement in management procedures depending on what avenue you'd like to explore.
Two paid CPD days per annum to be used towards training of your choice.
Formal and informal liaison opportunities with other members of our MDT to broaden your clinical knowledge and provide holistic care to our clients.
All-company training day where we bring the entire business together and invite external presenters for each discipline.
