Are you a clinical psychologist with a neuropsychology interest? This is an excellent physical and neuro rehabilitation unit where you could work across both inpatient and outpatient services.

About Us

Puāwai rehabilitation unit is a 12-bed inpatient unit that works mainly with adults (< 65yr) needing neurological and physical rehabilitation. The patient groups include predominantly stroke and TBI, but also a range of other presentations including tumours, hypoxic brain injury, functional neurological disorder, and orthopaedic injury. The team is an experienced, fun, dynamic interdisciplinary team providing rehabilitation to our diverse patients. This role will have some community element to it too, working within our community rehab team to provide support to those on an intensive rehabilitation journey in the community.

We take pride in supporting our staff to grow and we enable ongoing professional development including regular team in-services, senior staff mentoring, peer review, and access to course and conference funding.

You will be working within the rehabilitation team to design and deliver cognitive rehabilitation, psychological support, and behavioural support interventions. The post has an attractive study leave allocation for continuing professional development.

In addition, you will have enthusiasm and a willingness to commit to our team and patients. You will be expected to be active in service quality initiatives, therefore be proactive, innovative, and have a quality-driven leadership approach.
