Bathurst Health Service

About the role

Leadership and care are at the heart of this position which is an integral part of the multidisciplinary health care team, providing high quality services to patients of our health district.

Working in an acute regional hospital provides experience in a broad range of areas and you’ll lead in an environment of constant change. This role involves working in the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit, Rehabilitation and Ambulatory wards, with the opportunity to travel to smaller towns to provide sub-acute outreach.

You will deliver a high level clinical occupational therapy service (including services of a more complex nature) with advanced clinical reasoning skills in the provision of clinical care.  You’ll also exercise independent professional judgement in solving problems and managing complex situations.

You will support Level 1 and 2 Staff, Allied Health Assistants and students through clinical supervision and education programs, and provide a consultative service in area/s of clinical expertise to local clinicians, promoting the quality and safety of the services we deliver. 

You’ll always be on the lookout to find and act on opportunities for improvement in clinical practice and clinical research, and develop and lead ongoing quality improvement activities.

The Occupational Therapy Department at Bathurst Hospital is a group of approximately 10 friendly, enthusiastic and innovative therapists and Allied Health Assistants who are welcoming and foster growth and development in their colleagues. You will work during business hours with weekend shifts on a rotational roster and assist with the professional and clinical growth of student Occupational Therapists.
