Dunedin, New Zealand The University of Otago Full time

**DIVISION OF HEALTH SCIENCES**
**INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAMME**

**_ About our team/Mō te tīma_**

The University runs two complex rural immersion (CRI) programmes of learning, one in Tairāwhiti and the other in Greymouth. The programmes are supported by dedicated funding from the Te Whatu Ora Health NZ (Health Workforce Directorate).

This role is based in Tairāwhiti.

The programme is clinically based, focusing on four pillars of learning: interprofessional collaboration, rural health, Hauora Māori and long-term conditions. Five rotations a year are offered for senior health professional students, including - but not necessarily limited to - dietetics, dentistry, medicine, nursing, oral health, paramedicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy, social work and speech language therapy.

The aim of the programme is to bring pre-registration final-year students together from a wide range of health and social care disciplines, and institutions, to learn how to provide high-quality, safe, culturally appropriate, team-based, person-centered care.

Students complete discipline-specific and interprofessional placements and other interprofessional and rural health learning in their five-week rotational block. Students are primarily attached to clinical providers in Gisborne, but also travel more widely to experience the challenges and solutions to providing health and social care in a rural setting.

**_ The role/Te mahi_**

Our programme is seeking an experienced health or social care professional to take up the role of Programme Leader, possibly alongside a clinical or other role.

Key tasks of this role include:

- Working closely with the Director of the IPE Centre and liaising with key stakeholders regarding the initiation, promotion and functioning of the programme.
- Utilising educational expertise and educational resources to implement the interprofessional education programme.
- Fostering and further developing effective relationships and appropriate agreements with iwi and other stakeholders in the region.
- Ensuring the delivery of the curriculum in conjunction with the Deputy Programme Leader, and the Programme Administrator/Coordinator.
- In conjunction with the Programme Administrator/Coordinator: secure and support discipline-specific clinical placements and interprofessional placements, assure programme quality, and ensure student hours are completed.
- Training and supporting clinical placement provider staff to provide both discipline-specific and interprofessional learning in clinical workplaces.
- Supporting and facilitating learning for students while on clinical placements in relation to their own and each other's discipline principles and practice.
- Ensuring student pastoral care issues, concerns, and complaints are quickly, sensitively and appropriately managed.
- Providing in-programme assessment and feedback to students.

Professional Practice Fellow activities include:

- Maintaining own practice (clinical, education, research if so desired) in a health or social care profession, demonstrating knowledge of technical developments and involvement with professional organisations relating to the practice, as well as key current and future health issues for Māori, nationally and locally.
- Maintaining an awareness of research/teaching developments in the IPE field and interprofessional educational principles.
- As appropriate to the region, maintaining cultural protocols and integrity of Māori principles and values, demonstrating knowledge of cultural developments and involvement with professional organisations and the local iwi.

**_Your skills and experience/Kā pūkeka me kā wheako_**

This role will suit a health or social care professional with experience in education, who possibly holds a part-time clinical role, and is a well-respected leader in and beyond the relevant professional community.
- A tertiary qualification(s) in a health or social care profession.
- An understanding and appreciation of the principles of the te Tiriti o Waitangi.
- Cultural competency and ability to work effectively with a wide range of people.
- An ability and commitment to working interprofessionally with students and colleagues across a range of health and social care professional disciplines.
