So you chose medicine because you always wanted to make a
difference? You understand the
social determinants of health and know that with dedication and vision, those
determinants can be addressed by hands-on clinical approach to those our
society has left on the margins. You see the challenges involved in addressing
the complex comorbidities suffered by homeless and marginalized patients. You
understand that a small multi disciplinary team, mercifully free of bureaucratic
constraints, allows you the flexibility of practising medicine creatively and
independently, with the support and mentoring of an experienced team always
backing you up.
All of this means that you would relish the opportunity
of working at the Brian Burdekin Clinic.
The Brian Burdekin Clinic, situated in inner city of Adelaide, has 30
years’ experience providing care to homeless people by addressing the complex
comorbidities suffered by homeless and marginalised patients.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, committed doctor to join
our team with a view to a medium to long-term role at the Clinic. It would be an advantage for an applicant to have qualifications and experience in MATOD prescribing and experience in and understanding of the health issues associated with homelessness.
The successful applicant will be offered a two-year contract as a community health practitioner with remuneration consistent with the Medical Practitioners Award [MA000031] ($101,128-$125,653 per annum) according to the applicant's skills and experience.
