We’re offering a New Zealand registered physiotherapist the chance to get their career started with a rotational position now available at Hawke’s Bay Hospital. You will contribute to the established team currently providing assessment and treatment across the range of the general hospital wards and units, with rotations including general medical, general surgical, rehabilitation, neurology, musculoskeletal outpatients and time in ICU.

Our dynamic and supportive Allied Health Service is passionate about:

• Engaging people and their whanau in care so they can take control of their health and well being
• Setting up consumers to effectively manage long-term conditions or acute illness from hospital
• Helping people to develop or adapt their skills, strengths and abilities
• Innovation and change for better patient outcomes

We are looking for someone who has a passion for promoting and utilising person focussed goal setting and assessment with physiotherapy interventions and excellent communication skills. The ideal candidate will be flexible, with an ability to work autonomously and within both interprofessional and multidisciplinary styles as needed. You must hold a current Annual Practitioner Certificate

You won’t find this opportunity just anywhere, and when you combine this with the chance to live in New Zealand’s own piece of paradise, you have to ask yourself “why work anywhere else”? Take a stroll through the Hawke’s Bay Tourism website and get yourself to Hawke’s Bay!
