Therapy Team Lead

Therapy Team Lead – fixed-term, full time

Bethanie, Western Australia’s leading not for profit aged care and retirement living provider, has

been warmly welcoming and caring for seniors for over 65 years. We strive to lead the change in the

way Australians think about ageing, recognising ‘old age’ as a positive force in society and giving a

voice to those who have seen it all and live to tell the tale.
