  Physiotherapist – Level 1-2 – Permanent, Full Time

  Tasmanian Health Service - North West Regional Hospital

  To be Tasmanian is to pursue quality over quantity. We create, preserve, and protect the unusual. With quiet confidence, and with passion and perseverance, we pursue the extraordinary. Could you be Tasmanian?

  You can be a Physiotherapist anywhere. What’s different about Tasmania is our culture and our lifestyle. You will be encouraged to be yourself, to learn, to grow and to develop meaning in your work. You will have a powerful connection to your patients, and the community will encourage your success. Our isolation helps drive a culture of invention and human connection, which feels both old fashioned and… like the only future worth pursuing. Here you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to breath-taking coastlines, National Parks or award-winning restaurants or bars. After a hard day at work, you don’t have to sit in a car or a train for an hour. You can decompress with a walk along your local beach or put on your boots and go tell it to a mountain.

  We are small enough in Tasmania for you to shape and influence your work and make a real impact every day. Yet we are big enough for you to feel part of something important, somewhere you can belong and be surrounded by diversity, innovation, and friendships. Tasmanians are connected to the land where we live, and to the stories of the people who have cared for this place for tens of thousands of years.

  We are a close-knit group of 30 in our Physiotherapy team. We are based across the North West Regional Hospital and the Mersey Community Hospital, in one of the most naturally beautiful parts of the world. We provide care to patients across the healthcare journey, from busy Emergency Departments to community-based rehabilitative care, and all the acute and sub-acute specialities in between. We are continuously growing, developing new services and re-designing old ones. It’s an exciting and rewarding place to work, featuring contemporary, evidence-informed practise. We’ll look after you from the very beginning, ensure you are fully inducted and welcomed into our team and into our culture. Your fellow Allied Health colleagues, as well as the Nursing, Medical and Surgical teams will rely on you thriving in your work and will be invested in making this a reality. Take a look at the Statement of Duties below for more details.
