Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role

The Wellington Physiotherapy Team has a shared leadership model headed by a Team Lead and two kairuruku/coordinators. Together we have created a team we are proud to be a part of and now, with one of our coordinators moving to a new opportunity, we - re looking for someone who shares our vision to join our leadership team. 

We are using this change in leadership team to evolve how we distribute our leadership focus. Our overarching goals are to:

• provide the best service that we can, tailored to the community that we serve
• support physiotherapists at different stages in their career to reach and achieve their full potential

Our coordinators will work together, and with the team lead, to support the inpatient team as a whole and the clinicians at each stage of their career pathway, new graduate, rotational, experienced and into designated roles. They facilitate the day to day operations of the team, managing leave, sickness and training as well as longer term development and career support. 

The rotational team consists of two streams of clinicians- new graduates and physiotherapists with 2-4 years of experience. The focus here is on clinical mentorship, facilitating and overseeing clinical development and support through 1:1 catch ups and targeted group training programme.

The experienced clinician team consists of acute inpatient clinicians, both home-grown and from overseas. Some physiotherapists are transitioning from rotational to static, whilst others are progressing and advancing their clinical and professional skills. The coordinators with this team will focus on how to support this diverse group of clinicians and facilitate opportunities to enable clinical and professional quality that adds value at every step. 

This role is 0.5FTE (20 hours per week) and for current Health New Zealand candidates this can be combined with clinical hours to increase this post up to full time.
