Senior Neurological Physiotherapist

If you are an experienced physiotherapist with a passion for neuro rehab and want to work in a dynamic, rewarding and supportive team environment with the latest robotics and technology in a fully equipped rehab centre, this role at Advance Rehab Centre is for you.

About the opportunity:

This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate Senior Neurological Physiotherapist to join our Hurstville team. *Part-time, clinic-based position would be considered for the right applicant

We are a team of multidisciplinary clinicians, working in one of our three outpatient clinics and community-based rehab service covering most of Metro Sydney.

There is flexibility regarding the geographical area covered for your community caseload. You can be based from home, rather than the clinic on these days for flexibility.

Over the last 17 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 Allied Health Team Culture Excellence Award in 2021. Our rehab centers are located in Artarmon and Hurstville. Next month we will be expanding our Artarmon site to open our Parkinson's and Movement Disorders hub.

The neurological caseload can be challenging and extremely rewarding. This position would suit an experienced physiotherapist with a passion for neuro rehab looking to stretch their clinical skills. We manage clients with stroke/ABI, MS, PD, MND, spinal cord injury and other progressive conditions both acute/early in diagnosis and chronic stages. We are proud owners of Australia's first LEXO - an end-effector gait trainer from Tyromotion. You would have the opportunity to be trained to utilise this as an adjunct for more intensive gait training programs.
