Allied health jobs: Back to basics to stand out from the crowd

Looking for your next opportunity in allied health? Whether you’re a new grad or an experienced clinician thinking about a career shift, here are a few tips to help you stand out:

• Tailor your CV – Highlight relevant clinical placements, modalities, client types (NDIS, DVA, WorkCover), and any assessments or interventions you’re confident in.
• Showcase your soft skills – Communication, empathy, teamwork, and adaptability are just as important as clinical knowledge. Make sure these shine through in your cover letter and interviews.
• Get clear on what you want – Think about your ideal setting, client base, and support level. This helps you (and your recruiter!) find the right fit.
• Ask questions – Don’t be afraid to ask about induction, supervision, caseloads, and expectations. A great employer will appreciate your curiosity and care.

Bonus tip: Working with a recruiter who specialises in allied health (like me!) means you get guidance, honest feedback, and access to roles that might not be advertised.
