Job description

Love the idea of combining your qualifications with adventure, variety, and meaningful work? As our team continues to grow, we are looking for health professionals who are passionate about working with older Australians.

As an Aged Care Clinical Assessor, you'll use your professional expertise to make a real difference in the lives of older Australians while exploring the diverse and vibrant communities of Far North Queensland. No two days are the same. You'll travel throughout the region, meeting new people, working in different locations, and helping individuals access the services and support they need to live independently and enjoy the best possible quality of life.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone who enjoys being on the move, building connections, and experiencing new workplaces and communities. Daily travel is an essential part of the role, taking you across your service area to deliver support where it's needed most while offering a unique and rewarding variety that office-based roles simply can't match.

  • Service Referrals: Facilitate referrals to essential services that support independent living.
  • Promote Functionality: Actively promote the retention and maximization of function and capability in daily living.
  • Engage Stakeholders: Work closely with families and carers, recognizing them as key stakeholders.
  • Compliance: Ensure all assessments are conducted in line with Department of Health contractual requirements.

Must Haves

  • Tertiary education in a health-related discipline (see below)
  • Current unrestricted General Registration with AHPRA or relevant professional association
  • At least 1 year in aged care, including client assessments and/or service delivery
  • Current Australian driver’s licence, comprehensively insured vehicle, and the ability to travel within your service area
  • Proficiency in Word, Excel, Outlook, and client management systems

Why You'll Love Working with Us

  • Impactful Work: Make a real difference in the lives of older Australians.
  • Collaborative Environment: Be part of a supportive, multi-disciplinary team.
  • Comprehensive Training: Receive extensive training to ensure your success in the role.
  • Flexible Working: Enjoy a variety of flexible working arrangements to suit your lifestyle.
  • Health & Wellness: Access discounts on gym memberships and health insurance.
  • Career Development: Benefit from our commitment to your personal and professional growth.
  • Retail Discounts: Save at hundreds of retail outlets.

What does your discipline look like?

  • Registered Nurse
  • Chiropractor
  • Optometrist
  • Art Therapist / Music Therapist
  • Medical Practitioner/Officer
  • Exercise Physiologist
  • Counsellor/ Psychotherapist / Social Worker / Psychologist
  • Occupational Therapist
  • Chinese Medicine Practitioner
  • Speech Pathologist
  • Osteopath
  • Physiotherapist
  • Dietician
  • Podiatrist
  • Paramedic
  • Radiographer

This position is contingent upon the successful completion of all mandatory pre-employment checks, which may include background verification in accordance with applicable laws and company policy.

At APM, we celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We encourage applications from people of all ages, nationalities, abilities, and cultures, including Indigenous peoples, the LGBTQI+ community, and people with disabilities.
