Career development doesn’t always require changing jobs or titles. A career in place focuses on growth within your current role or organisation. Here, progress is about evolving how you approach your work - expanding responsibilities, enhancing skills, and continuously improving within your existing job. Success is measured by personal growth and how you can innovate and contribute meaningfully in your current role. This model often overlaps with traditional careers, particularly for those who seek to become specialists or leaders without necessarily seeking promotion or new titles.We explore this model though interviews with:Amber Paske, Senior Occupational Therapist - Mersey Community HospitalIndigo Bates, Senior Occupational Therapist - Launceston General HospitalFind more information about all of the career models we discuss in this series by visiting the Allied Health Workforce Development Framework SharePoint.

Traditional Career Model
A traditional, linear career path is characterised by clear, upward progression through a series of roles within an organisation or profession. This path typically involves moving up the corporate ladder, with success measured by external markers such as promotions and new titles. For those who seek to become experts in their field, traditional careers offer a structured route to deepen knowledge, refine skills, and take on leadership roles. Stability and long-term commitment are key features of this model.We explore this model though interviews with:Amy Turner, Senior Allied Health Stroke Coordinator and Deputy Manager Speech Pathology - North West Regional HospitalEmily Farquhar, Physiotherapy Clinical Lead and Outpatient Rehabilitation Team Leader - Launceston General HospitalFind more information about all of the career models we discuss in this series by visiting the Allied Health Workforce Development Framework SharePoint.
