Our OT Clinical Development Pathway
Ready to take your OT career to the next level?
We offer so many exciting reasons to join our team! At the heart of it all is our OT Development Pathway, designed to empower and educate our teams community occupational therapists. This means you’ll be able to serve a wider range of clients while continuing to uphold the exceptional, person-centered care we’re known for.
Variety of incredible opportunities
As a Plena OT you have the chance to work across a wide range of exciting healthcare areas. We service clients in their homes, or visit their residential aged care facility, we also provide workplace health and safety to residential aged care and community settings, as well as the NDIS sector. This variety offers incredible opportunities, but it also means that specialised knowledge and training are needed to thrive in each area.
At Plena Healthcare, we understand that for many OTs—especially new grads—entering the community sector can feel challenging due to the unique skillset required. We’ve recognised that this gap in knowledge and experience isn’t always addressed in formal studies or non-community roles.
Equipping you with relevant skills for the job
That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive, hands-on program that equips you with practical, relevant skills. Developed by experienced community OTs, our program is designed to help you confidently build and grow your expertise. Check out our Development Pathway Blog post to learn more!
