We are seeking an Occupational Therapist for our Mental Health Services for Older People (MHSOP) Inpatient Unit at Tauranga hospital. This is a 0.6FTE (48 hours per fortnight) fixed term position until October 2025 to cover parental leave.

Ideally you will be an enthusiastic team player with excellent interpersonal skills and an interest in working with older people. The successful applicant will be expected to have a good understanding of mental health conditions and ageing related illnesses.

This varied role will involve completing functional, cognitive, and sensory assessments, developing the activity programme with the Occupational Therapy Assistant, running community group programs, and completing one to one treatment.

The Occupational Therapist will work within the Mental Health Recovery principles and person-centred care model to enhance the quality of life.

**He Kōrero mōu - About You**

**Tō mātou whakahaere ki te tika, te rerekētanga, me te whai wāhi mai | Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion**

Our name, Te Whatu Ora, means ‘the weaving of wellness'. Whatu is the combining together of people, resources, organisations, thoughts and actions for the betterment and wellbeing of all. Whatu is also a direct reference to the pupil of the eye, and the vision required of the new entity and system.

At Te Whatu Ora we acknowledge and respect our people's diversity and spiritual needs, ensuring a safe workplace that is a whānau orientated and supportive environment. We are working towards a system that better meets the complex demands of a growing population, addresses the persistent inequalities experienced by Māori and ensures greater access, experience and outcomes for those traditionally not well served by the system - Māori, Pacific and Disabled People.
