AddressAre you looking to make a real difference in the lives of others whilst being a part of a well-supported team? We are seeking an experienced physiotherapist who loves working with children and young people with disabilities to join our transdisciplinary team. Part-time or full-time considered for the right candidate.
About Us
Therapies For Kids is a place where both children and staff are supported to reach their full potential. We have physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, music therapists and exercise physiologists all working as part of a transdisciplinary team. We have three clinics, two in Sydney’s Inner West and one in the beautiful Riverina. It’s the diversity of clients we see that makes us truly unique, including children with cerebral palsy, autism, developmental delay as well as typically developing children. We see children aged 0-18. Our families love our tailored services that address what they actually want to achieve rather than working to a formula.
