Remuneration as per PSA Allied Health MECA guidelines (between step 9 $87,192 - 12 $98,499)

Te Whatu Ora - Counties Manukau District is looking for a senior physiotherapist with an interest in Adult Rehab and Neuro rehabilitation.

This opportunity does not come around often. Are you passionate about making a difference in Neuro rehabilitation?

We have an exciting opportunity for a full time, permanent Senior Physiotherapist to join our Adult Rehabilitation and Health of Older People (ARHOP) services based at Middlemore Hospital.

This role is based in the inpatient Neuro-rehabilitation wards with some cover for Outpatient rehabilitation if needed. Inpatient Neuro-rehab roles are in demand and it is not often that a static senior role comes up. In this role you will be responsible for the assessment and treatment of a clinically and culturally diverse client group.

You will work closely with other members of the Medical and Allied Health teams to provide patient and goal centred care.

You will be involved in the supervision and development of rotational staff, rehab assistants and physiotherapy students.  There is scope for involvement in leadership, service development projects, staff education and quality improvement work.

You will be professionally supported by a section head and other experienced physiotherapists as well as the wider inter-disciplinary team. We are committed to your continuing professional development through supervision, support and formal/informal training. 

So if you are looking for a challenging, fun, and friendly place to work offering you a supportive working environment we would like to hear from you. 

Essential

• Minimum six years clinical experience preferably in Neuro
• Previous experience working in a rehabilitation team
• Registration with the NZ Physiotherapy Board, current APC
