There are so many great reasons to join our regional teams
Sense of adventure
Moving to a regional community can be one of the best decisions you make for both your career and your personal growth! Experiencing a new way of life can be a lot of fun – meet new people, explore and see first-hand how it’s all done in the country!
Higher salary
Novita offers a zone allowance for regional allied health employees – which means a higher fortnightly pay! There can also be additional benefits for your tax – meaning less tax and a higher take home salary.
Fast track your career
As one of South Australia’s oldest and most respected disability service and support organisations, Novita is a destination of choice for new graduate allied health professionals seeking to make an impact at the start of their career.
Working regionally will provide you with opportunities to develop advanced skills and take on higher levels of responsibility, all with the support of our experienced therapists. This will assist you to advance your career in a shorter period of time.
Moving to a new town also shows motivation, independence and the ability to get out of your comfort zone – which are personal attributes all employers are looking for!
Broad start to your career
Working within our experienced regional hub teams, with full clinical supervision and support, you will have the opportunity to gain experience and develop skills across a broad range of areas and diverse range of clients – this a fantastic opportunity for new graduates who are unsure what area they want to specialise in.
Greater support and supervision from experienced therapists
We know that working in a regional area brings unique opportunities for your development as an allied health professional. Our personalised supervision structures that we put in place for each of our therapists will ensure that you have the support that you need to thrive. Our regional therapists work closely with their support team, including Clinical Leads and Team Leaders to identify their professional goals, support needs and development opportunities that enable them to become the therapist that they want to be and an important member of the local communities.
Lifestyle benefits of living in country towns
Country life has so many great perks – you can immerse yourself within a close knit community, it’s easy to get around, and great local attractions within the towns including the well-known beaches in Whyalla and Port Lincoln and the river in Berri!
