Are you burnt out from high KPIs and back to back short appointments?

Are your hands tired from hours of manual therapy treatments a day?

We are offering a physiotherapy role that can give your hands a break!

Part time physiotherapist required in Bowen Hills/Fortitude Valley, QLD

I am looking for a physiotherapist to come on board starting in May 2025.

This is not your average physiotherapy role and will focus primarily on running bone density classes for patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis as well as performing pre-employment screens. As the classes involve lifting weights and using barbells, a strong interest and background experience using the gym is essential.

At present, the role is 20% classes and 80% pre-employment screens, with a view to growing to more classes and physio consultations in future if desired.

Hours

The hours are flexible. Ideally I am looking to fill 10-20 hours a week between 8am and 3pm across 2-4 week days - can discuss what works best for you and what we need.

About FKB Physio

FKB Physio began in July 2020. I started the business to provide an alternative to your standard physiotherapy clinic. We pride ourselves on long appointment times, a focus on active rather than passive treatments, and showing our patients what their bodies are capable of. At present we have 3 physios working part time across 2 locations.

Over time, the business has developed a strong bone density focus and this has become our main caseload of patients. Working with these patients is rewarding as they often are coming in with an enthusiasm to improve and are often very keen to come and see us. Generally it is a fun and positive environment, as people are making improvements to their strength and function. Due to the population, the patients are often are carrying various co-morbidities and require modifications around their workouts which requires clinical reasoning to change workouts as required.

We run 30 bone density classes a week and 1:1 consultations outside of these classes. We complete anywhere from 10-30 pre-employment screens per week. Physiotherapy consultations tend to be specific word of mouth referrals & are not the prime focus of our business at present, though will be again in future.

Role description

The primary focus of this role is to run bone density exercise classes and complete pre-employment screenings.

Classes have a maximum of 4 participants, all who have individualised programs which will be provided for you. You can take part in creating specific programs for patients as needed once confident.

Training to perform pre-employment screenings can be provided on the job.

There is no pressure to build / maintain a caseload in this role.

Weekly personal or group training with an exercise physiologist we work with can be provided as part of the role if desired.
