Description
Are you looking for a workplace where your passion for your clients is matched by a commitment to your development and wellbeing? Welcome to IRS, where Care is at our Core.
About the Opportunity
Since 1999, Independent Rehabilitation Services (IRS) has been at the forefront of community neuro allied health. We believe that to provide the best care for our clients, we must first provide the best environment for our clinicians.
We are expanding our multidisciplinary family and are looking for OTs with experience who want to deepen their expertise in a supportive, community-based setting. Graduates passionate about community neuro are also strongly encouraged to apply.
We have opportunities across Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Melbourne, allowing you to spend more time with your clients and less time on the road, with support from our Carnegie and Werribee offices.
