This is a role open to all skill levels. If you are looking for a training and mentorship opportunity, we can provide it to you. If you are a mid-career OT looking to work towards a more leadership role, we can provide you with those opportunities too.
Our OTs work on a variety of contracts including Social Rehab, Vocational Rehab and Pain. There are many streams to grow in and lead from.

  • Monthly bonus scheme aimed at boosting your earnings
  • Opportunities to develop clinical skills under supervision in rehabilitation
  • Permanent full-time role with clear career progression
  • Laptop and mobile phone provided
  • Great team culture with regular social events, weekly treats, award schemes
  • Well-being initiatives: annual eye exam, flu vaccination, access to EAP services

The ideal candidate:

  • Must have NZ OT registration and current APC
  • Experience in Pain Management or social rehab would be beneficial but not essential to this role
  • Ability to effectively manage your time and caseload
  • Full NZ Driver’s license for community rehabilitation
  • Excellent communication skills – you will be meeting new and varied people every day!
