Physiotherapist- Grade 2- Calvary Health Care Bethlehem
About the role
Based at Calvary Kooyong in Caulfield South, Calvary Healthcare Bethlehem is a leading provider of specialist services for people living with progressive neurological diseases and those needing palliative care. Services include an inpatient ward, Community Palliative Care Service, State Wide Progressive Neurological Diseases Service, CHSP and NDIS Provider service.
You will work in our Physiotherapy team, in our Statewide Progressive Neurological Diseases Service (SPNDS) and/or the inpatient setting depending on the skillset and needs of the successful applicant.
SPNDS provide expert support to people with progressive neurological diseases (including Motor Neurone Disease and Huntington’s Disease) to help them to live well throughout their disease trajectory. Support is provided as part of a wider MDT, either face to face or through telehealth. The SPNDS PT role is crucial in supporting adjustment to diagnosis through education and gentle introduction of equipment and energy conservation strategies, through to supporting people at more advanced disease phases requiring wheelchairs, hoists and other equipment to support their goals. Engaging with external providers and building relationships through providing information and education is a key part of this role.
The inpatient setting is a 32 bed subacute ward supporting people with progressive neurological or palliative conditions with assessment, symptom management and end of life care. The inpatient PT has a key role in support patients with maintaining mobility and independence while staying on the ward, as well as supporting the discharge planning process which includes carer training, organising equipment, liaising with external providers such as community Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, and completing reports.
