Why Facilitate OT?
At Facilitate OT, we pride ourselves on fostering a supportive, flexible, and family-friendly work environment. Our dedicated team of 'FOTters' enjoys an impressive average tenure of over 5 years. We’re not just a practice—we’re a close-knit work family!

With offices in Corrimal and Nowra, we serve the Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions, helping our clients achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

Since 2016, our Allied Health Assistants have been an integral part of the FOT team. They play a hands-on role in client care, supporting both our clients' progress and our OT team. We’re proud to offer these team members an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to client goals while growing within our collaborative environment. We’ve also had the pleasure of guiding OT students from their studies into their first careers as Occupational Therapists.

About The Role
As an Allied Health Assistant, you’ll play a key role in supporting our Occupational Therapists to deliver therapy programs that help clients achieve independence in their daily lives. Your responsibilities will include a variety of tasks to contribute to client care, such as conducting pre-assessment carer telehealth interviews, managing and coordinating client equipment maintenance program, overseeing internal equipment stock, and assisting with assessments and report preparation. You’ll work with a diverse range of clients, spanning various diagnoses and age groups, offering both clinical and administrative support within a collaborative team environment.

We believe the Allied Health Assistant role is vital in empowering clients and their families to achieve greater independence and live their best lives. This position will primarily be based at our Corrimal clinic, but you will also be required to work with our Nowra clientele from the Nowra office as needed.

What’s in it for You:

• Flexible Working Model: Opportunities to discuss and tailor flexible working arrangements so you can make the most of special moments in your life.

• Clinical Support: Receive ongoing one-to-one, personalised coaching from an experienced Allied Health Assistant Coordinator, plus specialised support from other team members as needed.
• Connection: Strong partnerships with local allied health providers, offering opportunities for joint visits, case conferencing, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
• Well-being: Access to Employee Assistance Programs, essential insurance coverage, memberships, and training.
• Admin Support: High levels of backing from an experienced administrative team to help you succeed.
• Equipment: Access to a wide range of equipment, assessments, and resources across our two clinics.
