About Recovery Station

We are one of the largest private providers of allied health professionals for disability, mental health and aged care services across the Hunter, Central Coast, Sydney and the Illawarra regions.

We’ve been in the Allied Health industry for nearly 20 years, and you don’t get that sort of longevity without the best of the best employees. We know that when we support our team, it means that they support our clients, which is what we are all about.

Here are some key traits of Recovery Station:

We love what we do because every role in RS contributes to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
Our team is a collaboration of passionate, like-minded colleagues that facilitates both personal and professional growth.
Keeping client-focused care at the heart of what we do challenges us to seek innovative ways to deliver the best possible support.

Joining Recovery Station means aligning with a company that believes in empowering you and your future.

Your day-to-day

As a community- based team, we predominantly see our clients either in their homes, group homes, aged care facilities or in a public setting that’s relevant for them eg out and about testing a new wheelchair. We want to see our clients where they are most comfortable whilst also giving you a diverse role full of variety and learning opportunities.

Some of our team schedule a full day of seeing clients one day, then balance this by working from home or having an office day to write reports, prepare resources, have supervision / training. Or you can mix things up depending how you like to work!

A community role is great as it allows you to have genuine flexibility and control over how you structure your days and therefore you don’t miss your afternoon sport or being able to drop the kids to school in the mornings / pick them up in the afternoons!

Depending where you are living, we tailor your caseload to service clients close to home. Your personalised admin support team will work with you to ensure you aren’t zigzagging around Sydney, the Central Coast or the Hunter and you’ll have clients to see close to you.

With our Neutral Bay, Erina or Toronto office as a central hub your role can be constructed as either full-time or part-time.

Over time and in consultation with you, you will be taught how to confidently:

Service a predominantly adult, NDIS or DVA caseload
Provide high level clinical services including client assessment and treatment, therapy, equipment prescription, home assessment and modifications
Run various educational sessions and therapy programs
Produce high standard, comprehensive Occupational Therapy reports

If you have a foundation in residential aged care, paediatrics or hospital work and are curious about making the move – reach out and let us know as we have a supportive team that is happy to help you make the transition.

We are also currently supporting clinicians looking to relocate to Australia and become registered with AHPRA so reach out and ask about sponsorship.

To be considered for this role, you must be registered with AHPRA, possess a driver’s licence with access to your own reliable vehicle and be willing to access a Working with Children Check and NDIS Workers Screening (a new form of police check). We are also requesting that the successful candidate be comfortable following NSW Health COVID and flu vaccination requirements.
