Support and Supervision
At Emble, our Therapists receive comprehensive support at every stage of their career. We prioritise your well-being and professional growth, ensuring both are nurtured throughout your time with us. We do this through:
- Regular supervision with a senior Therapist (or external supervisor, paid for by us) on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis, tailored to your experience and learning objectives.
- Collaborative development of your individual Learning and Development Plan.
- Access to a wealth of resources, paid subscriptions and journal articles.
- Dedicated time for internal professional development – Every Wednesday afternoon on a fortnightly basis, our clinic closes to focus entirely on learning and growth.
Manageable Caseloads
- We set realistic targets for Client Support Hours (otherwise known as KPIs) that allow ample time for session planning, progress reporting, and other administrative tasks. These targets are tailored to each staff member’s level of experience and our Therapists are empowered to progress at their own pace.
- We prioritise aligning your caseload with your clinical interests, competencies, and preferences for session location, time and modality, ensuring that you have autonomy and feel fulfilled in your role.
Access to Resources
- We ensure that you have everything you need to excel in your role. From therapy subscriptions to formal assessments, resources, toys, books, and more, we provide all the tools you need, eliminating the need to bring or purchase your own materials.

- You’ll have access to a dedicated therapy room, as well as opportunities to utilise our communal areas like the sensory-motor gym, meeting room, or large multipurpose room to enhance your sessions.
Professional Development
We prioritise the ongoing growth and development of our Therapists.
- Each Therapist has a personalised learning and professional development plan, reviewed bi-annually. This plan informs both internal and external professional development opportunities and helps shape our clinical supervision sessions.
- We offer three days of paid study leave.
- We close our clinics for half a day every fortnight, so that all staff can participate in multi-disciplinary professional development or discipline-specific training. We invite external speakers/facilitators, facilitate formal training courses, and participate in webinars to enhance our skills and knowledge.
- With a large team of allied health professionals all under one roof, our Therapists benefit from incidental learning opportunities.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
We believe in the power of collaboration and continuous improvement.
- That’s why every fortnight, we dedicate half a day to team-based projects aimed at enhancing our services and supporting our community. During these sessions, our team works together on various projects, such as creating informative parent handouts, developing engaging content for social media platforms, and crafting valuable resources for our clients.
- This dedicated time allows us to innovate, collaborate, and make meaningful contributions to the families we serve.
Career Progression and Role Diversity
Career progression and role diversity is important. That’s why we offer a variety of career progression pathways for our staff in streams such as:
- Operational and strategic management

Our leadership roles include positions such as clinical team leaders, supporting team leaders, group therapy coordinators, therapy assistant team leaders, social and community engagement coordinators, clinical education coordinators, and more.
We also support our staff members who are interested in advancing their clinical expertise. We provide access to external supervisors, workshops, and training opportunities to enhance their knowledge and competencies in their field.
In addition to career progression, we actively seek partnerships and opportunities that add diversity to your role. This may include facilitating workshops, leading parent support programs, planning and facilitating group therapy programs, providing consultative services to other businesses and sectors and more.

Our skilled administration and support team handles client scheduling, billing, and all daily administrative tasks, allowing you to concentrate on your clinical work. Backed by a strong senior management structure, including a CEO, General Manager, and Allied Health Manager, we ensure comprehensive support across all aspects of our organisation.
