In our service, you will play a number of important functions. As a psychologist, your professional expertise will be put to use to guide through risk assessments, diagnoses, and critically deliver individual and group therapy to an intricate but fascinating group of adult patients.
Your professionalism and dedication to providing high-quality patient care will ensure your success in this role, and your communication and time management skills will enable you to function well as a member of the larger multidisciplinary team.
You must be a clinical psychologist who is licensed in New Zealand. For positions in either field, recent relevant experience in a mental health context is crucial, and expertise in intellectual disability is essential for positions in that field.
