Join our Dynamic team in Orange:
The Orange Therapy team is made of an experienced multidisciplinary team and supports a large paediatric caseload of clients both in Orange and across Central West NSW. There is a strong team culture within the team and a real sense of teamwork and collaboration in supporting life-changing client outcomes.
In this role you will work with a varied client caseload where the majority of clients are aged 0-18 (80%) with ~50% being 0-6. The majority of clients supported live with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities (~80%). A typical week in the role will include approximately 70% of client sessions being onsite at our centre on Prince Street (both in person or via Telepractice) and 30% being in the community including visits to schools, client homes, and day program services. Currently, most outreach is within 10 minutes of the site; however, the team also supports clients and families living in Bathurst, Parkes, and Forbes.
Working within the Therapy team at CPA provides therapists with an opportunity to work with an experienced team locally alongside a broader speech pathology team of 60 therapists across NSW/ACT. CPA is a centre of excellence for people living with cerebral palsy and similar conditions which enables creativity and innovative practice to come to life! As an employee at CPA, you will have comprehensive and adaptive clinical education support with onsite visits and virtual supervision sessions alongside flexible work arrangements as required.
