At Ascend Health, our therapists collaborate with university students functioning as disability support workers and carers. Our unique model empowers students to evolve from support workers to therapy assistants and ultimately, therapists. In between sessions, you'll help coach and train students and manage community support services.
Our unique business model centers around the employment of dedicated university students pursuing health therapy degrees. We believe that university students are strongly driven by their passion and empathy and are motivated to bring high levels of care to individuals with disabilities.
