How We Make an Impact
Recovery Station provides community and clinic based allied health services, with a strong focus on disability and senior health. For nearly 20 years we have consistently grown and now proudly offer support to people with diverse needs across the Greater Hunter, Central Coast, Sydney and Illawarra regions.
Together, our passionate, multidisciplinary team of OTs, Mental Health OT’s, Psychologists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Dietitians and Allied Health Assistants collaboratively share their knowledge and experience to holistically design an individualised service to help improve the quality of life for people living with a disability or looking to age as independently as possible.
Your Day to Day
A clinical position with us is multi-faceted, to help you work in the way that allows you to be your best, whilst also allowing us to see our clients in the capacity that most appropriately matches their needs.
Therefore, your day could start by working from home or in the clinic to do some reports alongside your colleagues, with the afternoon's spent visiting clients in their homes, group homes or an aged care facility. Or vice versa depending if you have kids to drop at school or afternoon sport to get to! Working in a community role allows you to have flexibility and control over structuring your day.
Our team balance working from our Toronto office with working from home and this role can be either part-time or full-time. Depending where you are living, we'll tailor your caseload to service clients around Maitland/ Newcastle or Lake Mac. Your admin support will work with you when scheduling appointments to ensure you aren't zigzagging around and you'll have clients to see close to home.
Day to day you will support your clients to achieve an optimal state of personal, social and emotional wellbeing, as defined by the individual needs of each person. You will achieve this by working with them to identify barriers to optimal functioning through interventions that focus on enhancing existing skills, creating opportunities, promoting wellness, remediating or restoring skills, modifying or adapting the environment or activity, and preventing relapse.
You will be trained to provide trauma informed, person-centred, evidence-based interventions for people in our community experiencing moderate to severe Mental Health presentations including: acute and chronic psychotic disorders; schizophrenia; bipolar; generalised anxiety; depression; PTSD; alcohol and drug use disorders; mixed anxiety and depression; dissociative (conversion) disorder; sleep problems and OCD.
With our support you will become extremely competent in writing comprehensive reports based on your clinical understanding, conducting clinical assessments and implementing appropriate interventions to address prioritised needs.
