Habit Health is a nationwide healthcare provider, specialising in the rehabilitation space. We enable people to live their best lives and empower our teams to realise their full potential.

Our experienced team at Habit Health's Stoke branch is looking for a dedicated Occupational Therapist to join their multidisciplinary clinic to support people the way they deserve to be taken care of – the Habit Health way. 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.

Main responsibilities:

  • Annual budget set aside for professional development / study
  • Re-imbursement of professional registration / APC fees (pro-rated for part-time hours)
  • 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!

For Occupational Therapists based overseas:

  • As an accredited employer we will provide assistance in the AEWV process
