OPEN ROLES: NOVEMBER 2024
Caringa is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities.
Our comprehensive services now include an Allied Health team offering occupational therapy, psychology, behaviour supports and more.
As we broaden our suite of offerings, further opportunities now exist within the Allied Health Team.
For allied health professionals, timing is everything. As our region grows and our services expand, we’re looking for someone ready to grow with us. The role comes with all the professional development support you’d expect from a metropolitan position but with the added benefit of a collaborative, accessible team environment where your voice is heard and your contributions matter. Whether you bring a Certificate IV in Allied Health, relevant degree studies, or previous assistant experience, we’re ready to help shape your next career chapter.
⭐ PART TIME THERAPY ASSISTANT ⭐
The great healthcare migration is happening, and it’s not just about changing jobs – it’s about transforming lives, both professionally and personally. As metropolitan areas become increasingly congested and costly, forward-thinking allied health professionals are discovering the perfect blend of career opportunity and lifestyle balance on the stunning Coffs Clarence Coast.
At Caringa, we’re witnessing this transformation firsthand. Our expanding Allied Health team is creating pathways for passionate professionals who want to make a real difference while enjoying the perks of coastal living. Our latest opportunity for a Therapy Assistant (15 hours per week, permanent part-time) represents more than just a job – it’s an invitation to join a supportive, growing team where your development is prioritised. Whether you’re an allied health student looking to gain hands-on experience, or an experienced assistant ready for a sea change, this role offers structured mentorship and real opportunities for growth.
The Coffs Clarence region itself is a hidden gem that’s rapidly gaining recognition. Picture yourself starting your workday after a morning beach walk, being part of a close-knit community where your work has a visible impact, and enjoying a lifestyle where weekend adventures are at your doorstep. The region offers affordable housing options that make the dream of coastal living achievable – a stark contrast to the rising costs in major cities.
