We wholly embrace diversity and inclusion and encourage people to work with us from all ages, races, genders, religions, sexual orientations, family responsibilities or other characteristics, including Aboriginal people, people from culturally diverse backgrounds, individuals with a diverse sexuality or gender or bodily diversity, and people with disability.

Eligibility to Apply: Australian citizenship or permanent residency is an essential requirement for applicants to be considered for permanent positions in the public sector.

Other Conditions: WA Health engages staff in positions of trust and responsibility. WA Health policies require applicants to undertake criminal records screening and integrity checking as part of the appointment process.

This position is subject to a Western Australian Working With Children (WWC) Check. For further information please refer to the WWC website at:

https://workingwithchildren.wa.gov.au

Whilst this selection process will initially be used to fill the above vacancy, it may also be used to fill other "similar" vacancies throughout the health service. In addition to this, should the successful applicant decline or vacate the advertised vacancy, then the next most suitable applicant may also be selected from this process. Both of these options remain valid for a period of twelve (12) months from when the authorised delegate endorses the recruitment decision.

Position Profile: An Occupational Therapist is required to join the Rehabilitation Technology Unit (RTU), which is a specialist technology service within Health Technology Management Unit (HTMU), to support the team in Rehabilitation Engineering Clinic (REC). This service is provided to the East Metropolitan Heath Service and to sites within the South Metropolitan Heath Service including the State Rehabilitation Service.

REC is based in the State Rehabilitation Centre at Fiona Stanley Hospital. The successful applicant will be required to support a dynamic multidisciplinary team that includes Occupational Therapists, Technical Officers, Equipment officers and Rehabilitation Engineers.

Applicants must have a tertiary qualification in Occupational Therapy and be eligible for registration by the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia. Experience in the provision of complex wheelchairs, postural seating, and pressure management is required.

Responsibilities include the assessment, prescription, fitting, and configuration of assistive technology that assists our patient group to maintain their dignity and quality of life.

The applicant would require good problem-solving skills, lateral thinking, and come up with unique designs of assistive technology that are not commercially available to achieve the required outcomes.

The applicant is also required to manage an active case list consisting of inpatient and outpatients with various diagnoses and is required to plan and prioritise the work based on clinical need.

Prior experience with pressure mapping, setting up of alternative controls for wheelchairs, environmental control and mounting of assistive technology to the wheelchair would be useful.

Area Profile: The East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) comprises an extensive hospital and health service network that aims to maintain and improve the health and wellbeing of more than 670,000 Western Australians in its catchment area.

Our hospital network works together to provide a combination of tertiary, secondary and specialist health care services including emergency and critical care, state trauma, elective and emergency surgery, general medical, mental health, inpatient and outpatient services, aged care, palliative care, rehabilitation and women's, children's and neonates services.
