Occupational Rehabilitation | New Team Build | Established National Organisation | Perth Metro

Mars Healthcare Recruitment are partnering with a highly respected, well-established occupational rehabilitation organisation that's entering an exciting new growth phase.
They're building a brand-new specialist team and are looking for Senior Rehabilitation Consultants who want more than "just another caseload" - clinicians who enjoy leadership through influence, shaping best practice, and being part of something from the ground up, without the risk of joining a startup.
You'll be backed by a strong national brand, proven systems, structured onboarding, and full training - while still having the opportunity to innovate, mentor, and make your mark.

• Diverse, complex caseloads with multiple stakeholders
• A values-driven, energetic culture that genuinely supports growth

• Participating in team meetings, training, file reviews, and claims reviews
• Achieving agreed KPIs and quality benchmarks
• Identifying barriers to recovery and developing SMART RTW goals
• Implementing tailored strategies across multiple cases
• Performing specialised assessments aligned to your qualifications (e.g. FCEs, ADLs, vocational, psychometric, treatment-based assessments)
• Contributing to the continuous improvement of services and assessments

About You
