Auckland City, New Zealand Te Whatu Ora Waitemata Full time

**Senior Occupational Therapist - Fixed Term Contract for 12 months**

**1.0 FTE (40 hours per week)**

**Allied Health Acute and Interim Care Teams**

**Specialty Medicine and Health of Older People**

**Te Whatu Ora - Waitematā**

We are looking for an experienced Occupational Therapist to be part of our exciting allied health team working across both the inpatient and Interim Care Services (ICS) at Te Whatu Ora Waitematā. This is a senior role, providing clinical leadership, and supporting service development and innovation in practise as we look towards further developing this service and model of care over time.

The Interim Care Service is primarily for patients who have presented with acute injuries or conditions that require temporary admission to an ARC (Aged Residential Care) facility for a period of recovery and rehabilitation before then being discharged home. This model of care enables patients to avoid an inpatient rehabilitation stay, supporting them to return to the community as soon as possible as well as supporting wider hospital access and flow.

You will work in conjunction with inpatient colleagues, the ICS charge nurse manager and an inter-disciplinary allied health team, providing rehabilitation to patients, with primarily non-weight bearing injuries or conditions, for whom discharge to their own home is not appropriate in the short term.

As a senior you will work closely with the team to provide quality assessment, rehabilitation and discharge planning, starting from the inpatient setting and following patients through into the ARC facilities. You will work alongside your inpatient OT senior colleagues to provide senior support to the inpatient OT team, as well as the ICS team, especially in relation to the ICS patient cohort. Rehabilitation can be provided in a mixed model approach, varying from in-person sessions, group work, providing therapy programmes or working with patients and their family / whānau via telehealth (video or phone). The ARC facilities are located within our Te Whatu Ora Waitematā district.

Our documentation and clinical systems are all fully electronic, technology such as a laptop and smart-phone are provided to support and promote efficient and mobile working and we can offer a flexible model of working eg. working from home is an option at times.

A secondment will be considered for internal applicants

**We have a lot to offer you**:

- Support from other skilled senior staff and clinical coaches
- In-house career development with regular in-services, training and education opportunities
- Regular monthly supervision
- Access to our free Employee Assistance Programme
- Reimbursement of your APC annually
- Free 24/7 staff gym
- Discounts at some great companies via our Waitematā Work Perks network

Closing date: 4th September 2023
