We are looking for an Old Age Psychiatrist (.5FTE) to join our motivated team within the Mental Health and Addiction Service at **Te Whatu Ora, Health New Zealand Te Pae Hauora o Ruahine o Tararua MidCentral**, primarily working in a community setting. Flexibility regarding the working patterns can be negotiated. The service has embarked on a significant redevelopment programme in the past 18 months, with a new Clinical Executive, and Multidisciplinary Executive Leadership Team, as well as practicing psychiatrists. Our service is consolidating our recent gains and our goal in the immediate future is to further develop an integrated range of well connected services along with our NGO partners in our community.

We have had several new Psychiatrists joining the wider Mental Health & Addictions team with the addition of an Older Adult Psychiatrist further enhancing the continuity of care we provide to our patient population. We provide comprehensive community-based mental health services across the complete age range including:

- Child, adolescent and family mental health services
- Comprehensive community adult services
- Specialist Maori mental health services (Oranga Hinengaro)
- Specialist services for Mental Health for the elderly
- Specialist community alcohol and drug services including OST services
- Comprehensive 24 hour acute care services (crisis intervention service)
- Acute inpatient services (including intensive mental health care-26 beds)
- General hospital liaison psychiatry
- Early intervention services
- Intensive community rehabilitation services.

We have a commitment to continuing medical education and professional development and our peer review group is enrolled with the maintenance of professional standards programme of the Royal Australia and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists. We are recognised by the College for registrar training in inpatient, general adult community, and child and adolescent psychiatry, and this is an area we are seeking to further develop.

There are opportunities to participate in the further development of the service delivery model, develop an area of special interest or become involved in research.

MidCentral employs more than 2500 staff in Manawatu, Palmerston North, Tararua and Horowhenua and Otaki districts.
