Penny Shields – Regional Manager ACT

Describe your career at Injury Treatment

Commenced as the first full-time consultant in the ACT, as a consultant in September 2010.  Moved into Regional Manager role in March 2011 – managing both ACT/Southern NSW and Newcastle/ Hunter regions.  Also account manage a few clients.

Describe the type of work you do and what your average day entails

There is no such thing as an average day in this role~! Every day is different and that’s one of the most appealing things about it.  I manage a number of senior staff members – all clinicians and all professionals which, while challenging at times, is also very rewarding as I have the opportunity to learn from them as well.  I also have the opportunity to deal with customers and clients on a regular basis and manage a handful of cases myself as well which enables me to stay in touch with what our consultants are doing on a daily basis.

What has been your greatest career achievement whilst working at Injury Treatment?

Moving into the Regional Manager’s role and managing 2 very different regions.  It’s been such a great opportunity and I have learnt so much while building 2 regional teams and customer bases.

Why do you like working at Injury Treatment?

Working with a group of clinicians who, while all coming from different backgrounds and disciplines all have a common goal.

What would you say to someone thinking of working at Injury Treatment?

If you know the industry – you’ll immediately notice why Injury Treatment is different and why it’s such a great company to work for.

What are your interests outside of work? How do you achieve your work/life balance?

Get out and about with friends and family – going out to dinner etc.

What don’t we know about you?

I am completely uncoordinated with my left hand – definitely not ambidextrous!

I am quite the chef – well I like to think so anyway!
