• TyroMotion robotic systems (Diego and Myro)
• Electrical stimulation including Xcite2 and RT300 FES Bike

This environment supports hands-on neurological rehabilitation, where clinicians are encouraged to trial, adapt, and refine interventions using clinical reasoning and team collaboration.

Training and ongoing support are provided as part of onboarding. Prior experience with all equipment is not required.

Team environment

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team including Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Speech Pathologists, and Podiatrists.

Within the OT team, there is a strong culture of collaboration and shared learning. A dedicated upper limb space within the therapy space allows clinicians to work alongside each other using shared equipment, which naturally supports observation, discussion, and clinical learning.

How the role operates

• Clinic-based neurological rehabilitation practice
• Community and home-based intervention where clinically appropriate
• Practice is guided by our Clinical Excellence Indicators, which provide a clear framework for quality, consistency, and clinical standards across the team

• Upper limb therapy equipment including Saebo
• Electrical stimulation including Xcite2 and FES Bike

• DMI Therapy
• XSensor pressure mapping system
• Advanced seating and positioning clinic

This allows you to deliver therapy that is hands-on, intensive, and outcomes-focused.

Performance and rewards

We don’t measure success through outdated volume-based billing alone.

Instead, we use Clinical Excellence Indicators, recognising quality of care, clinical reasoning, collaboration, and client outcomes.

That means

• You’re recognised for how you work, not just how many clients you see
• Structured 4-weekly rewards and feedback cycles
• Clear expectations with support to meet them
• A focus on quality care rather than rushed appointments
• Clinicians who build strong clinical skills and consistency typically meet and exceed expectations within standard working hours.

Who this role is suited to

• Has experience in neurological rehabilitation
• Has a strong or developing interest in upper limb rehabilitation
• Enjoys working through complex clinical presentations in detail
• Is motivated to build specialist-level expertise rather than broad generalist skills
