About the Role: We are looking for a confident and adaptable clinical leader who thrives in a collaborative environment and is passionate about supporting older people to achieve their rehabilitation goals.
The Transitional Therapy and Care Program (TTCP) provides up to 12 weeks of goal-focused therapy and care services for older people within their own home or at the TTCP residential unit. The program is designed to maximise recovery and functional independence following hospitalisation, helping older people regain confidence and avoid premature admission to residential aged care.
Under limited direction of the TTCP Manager, the Clinical Lead provides high-level clinical leadership, expertise and coordination across aged care and rehabilitation services within an interdisciplinary model. The role is responsible for leading efficient referral and admission processes, coordinating high-quality and safe service delivery for consumers accessing TTCP, and supporting staff in the management of complex clients. Working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders, the Clinical Lead drives service access, patient flow and discharge planning, while fostering strong professional relationships and promoting evidence-based practice to achieve optimal consumer outcomes.
