Who we work with,
and how we help.
Different people, different needs.
Here's how we work with each.
Movementum works across the care ecosystem – alongside the organisations delivering care, the therapists embedded within it, the families living it day to day, and the suppliers equipping it.
Each relationship looks a little different.
Here’s what working with us looks like.
“All round a very productive and positive outcome.”
— CEO, Care Provider
Care providers
Your newest support worker on their first hoist transfer. Your most experienced trainer, ten years in, still getting something out of the refresher. We train teams from foundation skills right through to specialist care areas, whatever your staff, clients and roster needs, not a one-size fits all course that ticks a box and moves on.
HOW WE HELP
Hands-on manual handling training for your staff
Service reviews when care needs change or risks emerge
Documentation including safe work procedures and manual handling plans
Service establishment for new or high-need clients
Workshop facilitation and team development sessions
Service packages for ongoing in-house support
Ability to access online OT case support
“Knowledgeable, engaging, clear communication. Great balance of theory and practical.”
— THERAPIST
Therapists
You’ve hit a manual handling situation that doesn't have a textbook answer. You want someone in your corner who’s actually been in the room for this kind of thing before.
We work alongside you, not instead of you—mentoring through complex cases, training your team or the organisation you’re working with, or picking up the manual handling review you'd rather hand off.
HOW WE HELP
Manual handling mentoring on the cases that need a second set of eyes
Training for you, your allied health team, or your client’s care providers
Manual handling reviews and risk assessments
Support with documentation and manual handling plans.
Support with determining appropriate ratios of care with innovative equipment solutions.
Individuals and families
We work with families and carers in their own homes - hands-on, helping to work out what feels safe and right for you, answering questions as they come up, exploring options, building confidence with the equipment over time. Not just a demo and left to figure out the rest.
HOW WE HELP
Familiarisation with new equipment - hoists, standing lifters and more
Training for family members or care staff supporting at home
Help adjusting routines as needs change
Space for the questions that don’t get asked in a quick handover
OT assessment and reports to support you to get the equipment and care support in place.
Equipment suppliers
Your gear is only as good as the person who knows how to use it properly. We train the people in your team that sells it, installs it and those on the other end of that handover.
We partner with suppliers so the therapists and teams recommending and using your equipment are trained by people who actually use it, not just demonstrate it once and move on.
HOW WE HELP
Training partnerships delivered by OTs who assess for and prescribe your equipment, not just demonstrate it
Collaboration on client outcomes alongside your equipment recommendations
Supporting families as they start to use your equipment day-to-day
