Community Physiotherapist- Rye

About Plena

Plena Healthcare is a national allied health provider delivering services across Residential and Community Aged Care, with over 20 years’ experience. Our multidisciplinary team of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Podiatrists, Speech Pathologists, Dietitians, and Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) is passionate about improving client outcomes.

As part of the Australian Unity family, we combine the strength and stability of a national organisation with the connection and culture of a close-knit team—supporting innovation, career growth, and meaningful work.

Our purpose is simple but powerful: to enrich lives through compassionate, evidence-based care.

Your Opportunity

We are seeking a Physiotherapist to deliver care across both Community and Residential Aged Care settings.

In this hybrid role, you’ll support older Australians to remain active, independent, and connected. Whether that’s in their own homes or within residential facilities. You’ll work as part of a large, collaborative multidisciplinary team, delivering personalised, evidence-based interventions that make a genuine difference.

Using our Plena Care Pathway, a reablement-focused model, you’ll help clients achieve meaningful functional outcomes at every stage of their aged care journey.

In the community setting, you’ll work with clients referred through Home Care Packages (HCP), Short Term Restorative Care (STRC), Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), as well as private clients.

What You Will Be Doing

You’ll manage a diverse caseload across both settings, including:

• Mobility and functional assessments
• Restorative and reablement therapy
• Falls prevention and risk minimisation
• Pain management and musculoskeletal care
• Pressure care and skin integrity management
• Equipment prescription and home modifications
• Active ageing and group exercise programs

You’ll deliver both 1:1 therapy and group-based interventions, while collaborating closely with care teams, families, and other clinicians to provide holistic, person-centred care.

At Plena, we’re committed to helping you thrive—both professionally and personally.

• Genuine work-life balance with flexible work arrangements
• Strong clinical support through structured pathways and mentoring
