Allied Health Assistant

Your Opportunity:

As an Allied Health Assistant working in Residential Aged Care, you’ll play a vital role in supporting older people to stay active, independent, and connected to their communities. Guided by our clinicians and through our award-winning Plena Care Pathway, you’ll help deliver reablement-focused programs that make a real difference in residents’ lives.

You’ll be involved in a range of areas, including:

• Supporting mobility and functional programs
• Assisting with restorative therapy
• Facilitating falls prevention and active ageing group sessions
• Assisting with pressure care and pain management plans
• Collaborating with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and care staff to deliver resident-centred support

Whether you’re helping with one-on-one therapy programs or encouraging residents in group activities, your work will be purpose-driven and deeply rewarding.

In return, you’ll be supported by a large and collaborative national team, ongoing mentoring, and access to professional development opportunities. You’ll also enjoy flexible work arrangements, a paid induction, and a culture that genuinely values work-life balance.

We’re committed to supporting your next step into this role, with opportunities for growth and development across our Plena Care Pathway.

We’re looking for:

• Qualified Allied Health Assistants (Certificate III or IV in Allied Health Assistance, or equivalent experience).
• Current Physiotherapy or Occupational Therapy students seeking hands-on experience in aged care are encouraged to apply.
• Australian working rights.
• Willingness to obtain an NDIS Worker Screening and a National Police Check.
• A current driver’s licence and willingness to travel within a dedicated region.

If you're ready to take your skills somewhere they can truly shine and want to be part of a team that’s redefining aged care through innovation, compassion, and evidence-based practice, we’d love to hear from you.
