Description:
Are you ready to play a key role in transforming patient care? Join the passionate team at Darling Downs Health as a Physiotherapy Assistant, where you'll directly impact patient recovery across diverse clinical settings. Work alongside skilled physiotherapists to deliver treatments, lead group sessions, and help patients reclaim their health and independence. How will your contribution shape the wellbeing of the Toowoomba community? Take this chance to make a meaningful, lasting difference!
What your day will look like….
You'll work closely with physiotherapists to provide direct patient care across both inpatient and outpatient settings. This includes performing clinical assessments, delivering treatments, and supporting group therapy sessions—all under the guidance of experienced physiotherapists. Your role will involve contributing to patient records, giving feedback on progress, and collaborating with the multidisciplinary team to ensure the best care outcomes. You'll also have the opportunity to mentor less experienced assistants and take part in quality improvement initiatives. Every day will bring a mix of hands-on patient care and team collaboration, where your contributions directly support the recovery and wellbeing of those in your care.
