We are seeking a Registered Psychologist to join our dedicated team at the Upper Hutt Psychologist's Office, located near Rimutaka Prison in Trentham, Upper Hutt.

As your career develops you will have opportunities to complete higher Expert Court Reports and provide Expert Witness Testimony. You will also have opportunities to explore and develop areas of interest within our work as Ara Poutama Psychologists allowing you the space to become a Subject Matter Expert and provide training.
