About the Opportunity
Vital Health now has two (2) full-time opportunities for Occupational Therapists to join their team based in St George and Charleville in south-west Queensland. Fly-in, fly-out opportunities are also available out of Brisbane.
Reporting to the VHSWQ Clinical Coordinator, these roles will see you delivering professional occupational therapy services that are client goal focused and contribute to valuable outcomes to the client and/or community group you are working with. These are generalist positions that will see you delivering services across a wide and varied client groups including adults and paediatrics, however, the St George position will have more of a focus on the provision of aged care and NDIS services.
Some of your duties will include (but will not be limited to):
- Providing high-quality occupational therapy assessments, programs and strategies to improve client wellness and optimal health status;
- Liaising with other disciplines to develop appropriate and well-coordinated treatment regimes for patients; and

About You
To be considered for either of these positions you must have tertiary qualifications as an Occupational Therapist and hold registration with AHPRA and the Occupational Therapy Association of Australia (or be eligible for membership). A current Driver's License is preferable, however, is not mandatory.
This is a fantastic opportunity for both recent graduates and experienced practitioners alike, with Vital Health working with the successful candidates to develop a client base and career development path that best suits their particular interests and skillsets.
Whilst these positions are well-supported by a collaborative multi-disciplinary team, you will be the only OT at your chosen site, so you will need to be comfortable working fairly autonomously and problem-solving issues if and when they arise.
Vital Health is looking for personable, positive people who are excited about the opportunity to live and work in a regional centre and will embrace all that these communities and lifestyles have to offer.
About the Benefits
Vital Health is a vibrant, growing organisation of fun, like-minded people who love what they do!
On joining the Vital Health team, you will be rewarded with an attractive remuneration package of $68,000-$100,000+ negotiable with the skills and experience you are bringing to the role. You will also have the future potential to earn a percentage of fees as you grow your client base and experience level within the organisation.
Vital Health offers modern facilities, excellent training and a professional development allowance of $1,000 per year. Relocation assistance is also negotiable for the right person (to be discussed at interview stage) and can include accommodation support.
Employing over 45 allied health professionals across 7 different disciplines, Vital Health also offers fantastic career progression opportunities, with the ability for you to move up from an OT all the way up to Clinical Manager if this is a pathway you are interested in pursuing!
So what are you waiting for?! If you are a passionate OT looking for your next big adventure, don't wait - Apply Now!
