As a recently qualified Occupational Therapist deciding on where to apply for a job, I was looking for opportunities to learn and improve my skills. Empower Healthcare offered me a comprehensive New Grad program and extensive professional development opportunities that have given me the best start to my career.
I am being supported with
- In person and online training.
- Practical learning opportunities.
- Professional Development time allocated within work hours.
- Generous funding for external courses.
- Formal and informal mentorship with experienced colleagues.
- Working within supportive multi-disciplinary teams.
I have been able to work in Home Care and Residential Aged Care environments and split my time in a way that suits my life and interests, while experiencing professional autonomy within supportive teams.
Empower Healthcare is enabling me to find myself as a clinician, it can do the same for you.
What is Occupational Therapy?
The World Federation of Occupational Therapy defines Occupational Therapy as below.
“Occupational Therapy is a client-centered health profession concerned with promoting health and wellbeing through occupation… to enable people to participate in activities of daily life… by working with people and communities to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want to, need to, or are expected to do, or by modifying the occupation or the environment to better support their occupational engagement.” WFOT, 2012.
While many other people in the health industry are involved in the diagnosis of diseases, the occupational therapist’s role is about collaboratively setting and achieving meaningful goals.
