• Very attractive casual hourly rate of $66.64 plus 12% super, generous travel allowance (99c per km) and weekly pay
• Long term assignments with leading Assessment Service Providers
• Working as a locum Assessor with McArthur allows you the flexibility to have a great work/life balance. This is an ideal role to balance with travel, study, family or semi-retirement, as you can work as little or as much as you want and have the ability to take time off as needed. Its the perfect balance for people who need more time off than a permanent role will allow!
• Autonomous and remote working role - no office time required, you drive out from home to meet your clients and finish your day at home completing and submitting your assessments.

Note: This position involves travel within the southern metro region, with a very generous travel allowance attached to the role. It's a great role for an Assessor who loves to work autonomously, travel across the region (lots of time in your day for pod casts and audio books!). Assessments need to be completed according to established time lines and quality standards, so experience is essential.

If you are driven by making a real difference in the lives of older Australians and have the experience and qualifications required, we would love to hear from you.
