How long have you worked at Empower?

I started working for Empower on May 1st 2023

Relocating is a big step – why Australia and why Empower?

I always knew I wanted to move away from England, and why not move to a sunny country full of new adventures and opportunities! I landed in Australia November 2022, although I moved by myself, I was fortunate enough to have a sibling who has resided in Perth for approximately 5 years, so it was comforting to have a familiar face when I first arrived to help me get settled.

Qualifying as an Occupational Therapist (OT) in a different country I knew I would I need a supportive workplace that would allow me to learn and adapt to differences in Australian healthcare. One of the requirements of my limited registration to work as an occupational therapist in Australia was that I would need a supervisor to mentor me for 6 months which Empower was incredibly efficient and supportive with organising this.

What makes Empower the right place for you?

Empower’s core values align with my own professional and personal ethics. I wanted to make a difference wherever I worked and being part of the Empower team has allowed me to do that while living the lifestyle I had dreamed of when we decided to move to Australia.

How has Empower assisted your professional/career development?

Empower has assured me that I would have an excellent standard of training and would enable me to progress as a clinician and develop my skills over time. They understood I had trained in the UK and was still adapting to the differences in the way clinicians work here in Australia and have delivered on their ongoing help and support.

What do you love most about working at Empower?

Empower have been supportive and patient with me developing my skills and competencies since I began working for them. Although I have only been an employee of Empower for a short time I am very much looking forward to my future with the company! I have great colleagues, who have also been supportive. I have also done some multi-disciplinary shadowing to learn about the other Empower services that I will be working alongside.

What would you say to someone thinking about relocating to Australia with Empower?

It is challenging at times but everything worth doing is challenging. One day, on your break between clients you will find yourself on a bench in the sunshine, sipping a flat white, overlooking the ocean, and you will realise how lucky you are to be here. The challenge is worthwhile.
