CURRENT VACANCY:  Leading Hand Therapist or Early Career Hand Therapist​

​

We are looking for someone special to join our team and it might be you! 

​

About this position

We are on the search for someone pretty amazing. We are looking for someone who is hard working, a delight to be around, and someone who is friendly and honest. 

Riverina Hand Therapy has been part of the Wagga Wagga community for nearly 20 years. We’ve grown, changed, learned a lot — and now we’re stepping into a new chapter, with space for one or two therapists to grow alongside us.

We’re looking for an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist who’s curious about hand and upper limb therapy... whether you already love this space or you’re ready to deepen your skills with the right mentoring and support.

This role is for someone who wants to stay, not just pass through... in a clinic where people are known, learning is valued, and good work is done with care.

​

You’ll work with a broad range of hand and upper limb injuries and conditions, alongside a supportive team and in close collaboration with local plastic and orthopaedic surgeons and GPs. We’re a small private practice with strong foundations, clear values, and a genuine focus on doing good work — for our clients and for each other. We’re committed and professional, and we also know how to enjoy our workday and support one another. There is room here to grow clinically and professionally, including future leadership opportunities for those who are interested.

​

We are a team dedicated to providing therapy services to assist people to recover from injury, manage their condition, reduce pain and symptoms, and return to the activities they love. Our vision is to provide therapy that our clients and referrers can rely on, and we are on a mission to build a team of health professionals who can educate, support and care for our clients. 

​

This position is suited to you if you’re available to work full time. We will consider part time for the right person, so still apply if you think you would be a great option for us. Throw your hat in the ring - you never know! Tell us what flexibility you need and we'll see if we can make it work.

​

This position would be a great match for you if:

🖐 You’re interested in building a career in hand and upper limb therapy
🖐 You care deeply about client outcomes and love seeing people return to the activities they value
🖐 You enjoy problem-solving and thoughtful assessments
🖐 Splinting is your jam — or you’re excited to become confident and creative with it
🖐 You enjoy welcoming clients with warmth and care
🖐 You like being part of a team and don’t mind rolling up your sleeves when needed
🖐 You value efficiency and take initiative when you see something that could be done better
🖐 You value yourself and others — you’re kind, honest, humble, and respectful

 

We promise a workplace that will challenge and stretch you as well as care and support you. We are a determined and driven team but we don't take ourselves too serious. We value career growth, and will make sure you have opportunities in the future to spread your wings within our workplace.

​​

Your experience might look like…

• A therapist with experience in hand and upper limb therapy, looking to deepen your skills

• A new graduate, or a therapist newer to hand therapy, who’s motivated to learn and wants strong mentoring

• Someone who’s completed a placement or additional courses in hand therapy and is waiting for the right opportunity

• A therapist returning to work or shifting direction in your career

What matters most to us is curiosity, care, and a genuine interest in hand therapy.
We’re not looking for a “perfect” therapist — we’re looking for someone who wants to keep growing.

​

What you’ll love about working with us

🖐 Free and wide-ranging training opportunities, plus a yearly PD allowance
🖐 Regular internal in-services and mentoring to support your clinical development
🖐 Opportunities to be involved in research, teaching, or developing new services
🖐 Strong support from our friendly and capable administration team
🖐 Flexible working arrangements to suit your lifestyle
🖐 Our Team Happiness Program — because enjoying work really matters to us
🖐 Quarterly Growth Check-ins so your goals and voice are heard
🖐 The chance to be part of something meaningful — helping people recover and supporting a clinic that’s been part of the community for decades

​

Why regional really is special

Living and working in Wagga Wagga offers something rare — strong connection, real community, and space to build both a meaningful career and a balanced life.

You’ll form close relationships with clients, colleagues, and referrers, while enjoying the benefits of regional living: time, affordability, nature, and a welcoming community.

Wagga Wagga is only an hour flight from Melbourne or Sydney, not that you would want to fly away, the local community here always has something interesting on, with lots to see and do, great shops, amazing places to wine and dine, and affordable housing!!
