What we offer

Support and Supervision

At Emble, our Therapists receive comprehensive support at every stage of their career. We prioritise your well-being and professional growth, ensuring both are nurtured throughout your time with us. We do this through:

Regular supervision with a senior Therapist on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis, tailored to your experience and learning objectives.

Collaborative development of your individual Learning and Development Plan.

Access to a wealth of resources and paid subscriptions.

Dedicated time for internal professional development every month.

Manageable Caseloads

We set realistic targets for Client Support Hours (otherwise known as KPIs) that allow ample time for session planning, progress reporting, and other administrative tasks. These targets are tailored to each staff member’s level of experience and our Therapists are empowered to progress at their own pace.

We prioritise aligning your caseload with your clinical interests, competencies, and preferences for session location, time and modality, ensuring that you have autonomy and feel fulfilled in your role.

Access to Resources

We ensure that you have everything you need to excel in your role. From therapy subscriptions to formal assessments, resources, toys, books, and more, we provide all the tools you need, eliminating the need to bring or purchase your own materials.

All staff are provided with a laptop or desktop computer and have access to our library of iPads.

You’ll have access to a dedicated therapy room, as well as opportunities to utilise our communal areas like the sensory-motor gym, meeting room, or large multipurpose room to enhance your sessions.

Professional Development

We prioritise the ongoing growth and development of our Therapists.

Each Therapist has a personalised learning and professional development plan, reviewed bi-annually. This plan informs both internal and external professional development opportunities and helps shape our clinical supervision sessions.

We offer three days of paid study leave (pro-rata) and a generous personal professional development budget.

We close our clinics for half a day every fortnight, so that all staff can participate in multi-disciplinary professional development, independent learning, case conferences or discipline-specific training. We invite external speakers/facilitators, facilitate formal training courses, and participate in webinars to enhance our skills and knowledge.

With a large team of allied health professionals all under one roof, our Therapists also benefit from incidental learning opportunities.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement

We believe in the power of collaboration and continuous improvement.

That’s why every fortnight, we dedicate half a day to team-based projects aimed at enhancing our services and supporting our community. During these sessions, our team works in small groups across 3 major project areas that help us to better deliver on our vision and mission.

This dedicated time allows us to innovate, collaborate, and make meaningful contributions to the families we serve.

Career Progression and Role Diversity

Career progression and role diversity is important. That’s why we offer a variety of career progression pathways for our staff in streams such as:

Operational and strategic management

Clinical leadership, supervision and mentoring

Program and project coordination

Our leadership roles include positions such as clinical team leaders, supporting team leaders, group therapy coordinators, therapy assistant team leaders, social and community engagement coordinators, clinical education coordinators, and more.

We also support our staff members who are interested in advancing their clinical expertise. We provide access to external supervisors, workshops, and training opportunities to enhance their knowledge and competencies in their field.

In addition to career progression, we actively seek partnerships and opportunities that add diversity to your role. This may include facilitating workshops, leading parent support programs, planning and facilitating group therapy programs, providing consultative services to other businesses and sectors and more.

Full Administration Support and Management Structure

Our skilled administration and support team handles client scheduling, billing, and all daily administrative tasks, allowing you to concentrate on your clinical work.

Backed by a strong senior management structure, including a CEO, General Manager, and Allied Health Manager, we ensure comprehensive support across all aspects of our organisation.

Our Team Culture

We value team cohesion and well-being through quarterly team-building days, where we enjoy outings together, such as water park adventures and city-wide scavenger hunts.

Our supportive team culture fosters a vibrant atmosphere, enriched by our diverse clinical backgrounds, allowing you to grow into a more holistic therapist.

With high staff retention rates, annual satisfaction surveys, and open feedback channels, we continuously strive to enhance our team’s experience with us.

Working under one roof, we cultivate a sense of community, hosting seasonal events and celebrating special occasions like Easter, Christmas, and Halloween.

Our social and community engagement strategy ensures a calendar full of internal events, including Harmony Day, Pyjama Day, Book Week, and more, creating opportunities for meaningful connections and fostering a sense of community.
