Are you tired of money-focussed practice? Inflexible work hours that don't suit your schedule or always working overtime without compensation? Management who don't hear you when you speak? You've found your solution.
🌱Foundation First is open to interested clinicians who want to join our brilliant, close-knit team. We are based in Maitland but service areas close to therapists home in Medowie and Raymond Terrace, Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, and the Maitland area. We believe in sustainable caseloads, ethical practice, and making sure that our clinicians are supported to be the best professionals that they can be.
😊We are focussed on developing clinicians to pursue their career goals. Do you want to be a feeding therapist? An AAC legend? Or a speech sound extraordinaire? We encourage you to shape your caseload to reflect your passions and strengths, meaning that our clients are supported by clinicians who really know their work.
