About the role

We are looking for an experienced hand therapist, preferably with experience in providing care to clients with traumatic upper limb conditions.

About the Team/Service/ Location

You will be based at the Meade Clinical Centre located on the Waikato Hospital campus, with the potential for visits to our rural hospitals in order to provide clinical input.

About you

  • Ideally, the applicant will also be a Registered or Associate Member of Hand Therapy New Zealand.
  • An ability to live and lead the Waikato District values of Whakamana (Give and earn respect), Whakarongo (Listen to me; talk to me), Mauri Pai (Fair Play), Whakapakari (Growing the good), Kotahitanga (Stronger Together).
  • A commitment to achieving excellent clinical and business outcomes based on quality service delivery and outstanding and empathetic patient care.
  • A sound grounding in upper limb anatomy, from finger-tip to cervical spine.
  • Experience supervising student and junior practitioners, preferred but not essential.
  • An ability to work autonomously completing comprehensive clinical assessments, as well as use adult teaching principles to engage health consumers.
  • A strong team focus, and excellent communication and inter-personal skills.
  • A full clean New Zealand drivers license.
  • Competency with te ao Māori, tikanga, and te reo Māori or a commitment to starting your journey and taking ownership of your learning and growth.
  • Experience in upholding Te Tiriti principles and frameworks, and the application of Mātauranga Māori and Kaupapa Māori approaches, particularly as they apply in healthcare settings.
