To be Tasmanian is to pursue quality over quantity. We create, preserve, and protect the unusual. With quiet confidence, with passion and perseverance, we pursue the extraordinary. Could you be Tasmanian?
Occupational Therapist – Permanent Full Time
Tasmanian Health Service – Northern Tasmania (Launceston)
You could be an Occupational Therapist anywhere. What’s different about Tasmania is our culture and our lifestyle. You will have a powerful connection to your patients, and the community will encourage your success. Our island home helps drive a culture of invention and human connection, which feels both old fashioned and… like the only future worth pursuing.
Here you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to breath-taking coastlines, National Parks or award-winning restaurants or bars. After a hard day at work, you don’t have to sit in traffic for an hour. You decompress with a walk around the gorge, or put on your boots and tell it to the mountain.
We are small enough here for you to shape and influence your work and make a real impact every day. Yet we are big enough for you to feel part of something important, somewhere you can belong and be surrounded by diversity, friendships, professional support, and positive lifestyles. Tasmanians are connected to the land where we live, and to the stories of the people who have cared for this place for tens of thousands of years. Here’s one of our OT’s story of adventure:
There are over 30 of us in our OT department and you will have the opportunity to rotate across many of the clinical services provided at the Launceston General Hospital. It’s an exciting and rewarding place to work, featuring contemporary, evidence-informed practice that sees you closely linked to the whole multidisciplinary team. We’ll look after you from the very beginning, ensure you are fully inducted and welcomed into our culture. Your fellow Allied Health colleagues, as well as the hospital's teams will rely on you thriving in your work and will be invested in making this a reality.
