Provision of enhanced AI tools aimed at boosting your performance:

Habit is proud to have introduced Heidi notes for all its clinicians to ensure they have access to the best possible tools to help them excel. Heidi is an AI medical scribe that automates clinical documentation and decreases administrative work. This enables you to focus on clinical care and excellence. In turn, you will be better equipped to make best use of our uncapped incentive programme that enables clinicians to earn an extra performance bonus every single month!

The ideal candidate:

  • Must have NZ OT registration and current APC
  • Ability to effectively manage your time and caseload
