Description

Our client, Lift Cancer Care Services is a purpose-built oncology service operating as both an accredited day hospital and a multidisciplinary allied health clinic. They deliver Exercise Medicine, Physiotherapy, Lymphoedema Services, Dietetics and Psychology through a world-leading, integrated model of care. 

Lift is recognised as a leader in oncology exercise medicine - delivering evidence-based treatment to people living with cancer in a fast-paced, high-performance clinical environment. 

Now, we’re looking for an Exercise Medicine Team Lead to help scale this model and lead from the front.

• A Physiotherapist or Accredited Exercise Physiologist
• An experienced clinician with strong clinical foundations
• An emerging or established leader
• Confident managing complexity and making decisions

• Driven by purpose and impact

Most importantly, you want to be part of changing how healthcare is delivered.
