Who we are

Symmetry Physiotherapy is a multi-award-winning healthcare provider, situated across the Western, North-Western, and Bayside Suburbs of Melbourne. Our innovative and progressive clinics allow us to continue 'Setting the Standard in Healthcare.' We pride ourselves on our career pathways and opportunities for practitioners to enter our program anywhere from new graduates to experienced post-graduate therapists and find the support, opportunities, and challenges suited to them.

What we are looking for

Full-time experienced Physiotherapist to join our Ascot Vale team. The successful candidates should ideally have 1+ years of private practice experience.

Unique position in a modern bustling clinic, our Ascot Vale clinic contains 4 treatment rooms and a designated gym/pilates space. We have long-term relationships with sporting groups from both professional/semi-professional level to local sporting teams.

We are looking for inspiring, self-progressive, and innovative practitioners willing to learn and develop their skill set within our programs while delivering the highest standards of healthcare.

Our Mentoring and Professional Development Program

Continuing education is a significant focus and investment of our physiotherapy program that continues to be innovative and inspiring for our team. Our PD program comprises the following.

• Weekly individual mentoring/case reviews. This provides an opportunity to work through very specific clinical reasoning
• Weekly group discussion and collaboration on a specified topic facilitated by a senior physio. This allows shared learning on a variety of topics in theory and practical skills.
• Monthly in-service presented by an external expert. Topics have been facilitated by surgeons, sports physicians, expert physiotherapists, and other leading allied health practitioners facilitated by our network's close links with universities and other healthcare providers.
• Bimonthly masterclasses for experienced physios. A topic is facilitated in small groups by an experienced senior physio on an area of interest. (This is a new layer to our PD program and is designed to challenge our most experienced practitioners)
• Fortnightly New graduate mentoring. Areas of the body are broken up into hour sessions and facilitated by experienced physios to help transition theory learned into application in private practice.
• External PD funding. We fund a full course fee from a selection of approved and appropriate courses.

As well as leadership and mentoring opportunities for experienced staff to be a part of Symmetry's professional development pathway and beyond.

Remuneration
