Protean Career Model

One Health Season 4 Episode 1

Protean careers are self-directed, driven by personal values and goals rather than external rewards. Success is internally defined, based on personal satisfaction and alignment with one’s values. 

We explore this model though interviews with:

  • Amelia Visintin, Breast Imaging Clinical Educator – BreastScreen Tasmania.
  • Caitlin Cocker, Manager of Psychology Services – Hospitals North West.
  • Tony Mendoza Diaz, Allied Health Research and Innovation Lead, and Clinical Psychologist – Child and Youth Mental Health Service

Find more information about all of the career models we discuss in this series by visiting the Allied Health Workforce Development Framework SharePoint (only accessible to Department of Health employees). There you’ll find practical advice for each model, as well as a quiz that can help you match your own career with one of the five models.
