Job Description Build a meaningful senior career in older-adult care At Fizzio Clinics, we believe older adults deserve care that is thoughtful, practical, well-communicated, and built around real-life outcomes. We are looking for two physiotherapists ready for their first true senior step, clinicians who have moved beyond graduate practice and want to manage more complex caseloads, support junior team members, and continue growing into specialist, education, research, and leadership pathways within a structured organisation. Fizzio Clinics's physiotherapy pathway is designed as a clear eight-tier career structure with formal mentoring, specialist and leadership opportunities, and transparent progression expectations. This is not a role for someone looking to simply do more appointments. It is for a physiotherapist who wants to build a long-term career in high-quality older-adult care across home, community, and clinic settings, with strong support around them and real room to grow. The role aligns most closely with the early senior stage of the Fizzio Clinics pathway, where clinicians are typically managing more complex presentations, mentoring junior staff, and beginning to show leadership and initiative. Why this role stands out At Fizzio Clinics, you will work in an environment built for whole-person, safe, measurable care. Our Integrated Clinical Framework is designed to keep care whole-person, bottleneck-first, intent-governed, communication-aligned, and outcome-validated across older-adult care. It applies across inHome, inClinic, and inCommunity settings and gives clinicians a shared operating logic for assessment, treatment, review, communication, and handover. That means you will be supported to practise with clear reasoning, safe progression, strong communication, and measurable outcomes, not symptom chasing or fragmented care. The framework also underpins onboarding, supervision, and teaching, so clinicians are supported to develop properly rather than being left to "figure it out alone". About the role You will deliver physiotherapy services to older adults across clinic, home, retirement living, and community environments. Your caseload will include musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, neurological, balance, falls, mobility, frailty, post-hospital, and function-focused rehabilitation presentations. This is a role for a clinician who enjoys complexity, relationship-based care, and the opportunity to make a visible difference in daily function, safety, confidence, and independence. In this role, you will: deliver evidence-based physiotherapy assessment and treatment across home, clinic, and community settings manage increasingly complex caseloads with sound clinical reasoning and practical rehabilitation planning prescribe and progress therapeutic exercise, mobility, falls-prevention, and function-focused rehabilitation programs work closely with GPs, nurses, allied health colleagues, carers, and families to support integrated care support junior physiotherapists through mentoring, case discussion, and day-to-day leadership contribute to service quality, clinical discussions, and ongoing improvement initiatives What your week may include Your week is likely to include a mix of: in-home physiotherapy visits with older adults living independently or with support clinic-based rehabilitation sessions mobility, strength, balance, and falls-prevention work post-hospital and deconditioning reviews communication with GPs, family members, carers, and the wider care team case review and mentoring support for junior physiotherapists participation in education sessions, team discussions, or service improvement work Why good clinicians stay at Fizzio Clinics A genuine career pathway Fizzio Clinics offers a transparent physiotherapy progression model from new graduate through to divisional leadership, with structured tier descriptions, specialist overlay opportunities, and clear advancement expectations. Progression is tied to demonstrated capability, contribution, care quality, and readiness for the next level. Real mentoring and support Mentorship and professional development are built into the structure of the organisation. Junior physiotherapists are paired with dedicated senior mentors, mentoring is regular and structured, and the wider team culture encourages open support and interdisciplinary learning. Fizzio Clinics also provides CPD support, eight-weekly internal training, and formal development planning. A clinically mature operating model Our care model is structured around clear goals, whole-person reasoning, safe progression, objective measurement, plain-language communication, and effective handover. It is designed to support high-quality clinical care across settings while strengthening supervision, onboarding, documentation, and decision-making. A real education and research environment For clinicians who value growth, teaching, and evidence-informed practice, Fizzio Clinics offers a genuine clinical education and research environment. We are a University of Queensland Clinical Education Unit, and we are a Research and Training Partner to IMC Krems, University of Applied Sciences, Austria, and the University of Applied Sciences for Health Professions Upper Austria. Our clinical framework is also used for onboarding, supervision, and university education, and Fizzio Clinics's education model includes a defined University of Queensland undergraduate and masters placement pathway. Integrated, team-based care While this is a physiotherapy role first and foremost, you will work inside a broader integrated model of care.
