Bring your skills in helping people learn, participate and build independence into allied health.
At Alliance Clinics, we’re looking for an Allied Health Assistant to support children and adults across a varied caseload.
You might already be a qualified AHA, have another suitable allied health background, or be a current or former teacher aide or early childhood educator looking for a change. Your ability to connect with people, adapt activities and encourage progress could make you a great fit.
The Role
You’ll work under the delegation and supervision of our Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Accredited Practising Dietitians and Physiotherapists.
You’ll help participants put their therapy plans into practice through activities that support communication, everyday skills, movement, nutrition and independence.
Your role will include:
- Delivering individualised therapy activities prescribed by clinicians.
- Adapting resources and activities within the clinician’s guidance.
- Building rapport and helping participants stay engaged.
- Recording sessions and sharing progress, observations and concerns with supervising clinicians.
- Preparing resources and clinical spaces.
You’ll have clear clinical direction, with tasks and supervision matched to your training, skills and experience.

About You
You’re down-to-earth, collaborative and comfortable having meaningful conversations. You care about person-centred support and helping people have a say in their care.
You’re patient, practical and willing to learn. You can follow a therapy plan, contribute useful observations and recognise when to ask for guidance.
