Occupational Therapist - Te Whare o MatairangiNau mai, haere mai ki Te Whatu Ora – Capital, Coast & Hutt Valley District Location: Wellington Regional Hospital
Service: Te Whare O Matairangi
Contract: Permanent Full time (1 FTE)
The Occupational Therapist's role is to understand a person's functional needs and provide brief but meaningful intervention as part of a multidisciplinary team, in line with Te Whare Tapa Wha. This involves engaging people in a variety of ways, considerate of culture, whanau, and personal values.
The role requires you to run an Occupational Therapy group program, as well as individual assessment and intervention with people in an acute mental health setting. This role will allow you to use and develop core Occupational Therapy skills, engaging people in meaningful and purposeful activities. You will help facilitate community organisations to come into the ward to run programs as well as leading group activities yourself. The role can require you to support people to re-engage in their community, so many of the interventions offered can occur in the community.
Your role is to support people to recover from an acute phase of mental illness and help them understand how they can stay well in the community, linking people with the supports and tools to sustain their recovery.
Our Allied Health professional team consists of 2 Occupational Therapists, 2 Social Workers, and a Psychologist, as well as interns and NESP placements for each of these disciplines. We are also very fortunate to have a diverse and skilled team of support staff, including 4 Occupational Therapy Support Workers and 1 Allied Health Support Worker.
TWOM is an excellent ward to work in with a great opportunity to develop skills and expertise in a wide range of areas. There are many innovative projects underway, and the culture is one of encouragement and growth. If you have a can-do attitude and initiative, you will thrive in this setting. This Occupational Therapist position is forever adapting to the needs of our whaiora, and there is space for you to develop the role as you see fit.
This Occupational Therapy role requires someone who has excellent communication skills and is able to work as part of a fast-paced clinical team. You will need to be flexible and willing to adapt to the regularly changing environment of an acute inpatient psychiatric ward. You will have good risk management and organisational skills. You will have initiative and creativity to add your own unique approach to the service. You will be reliable and considerate of others. You will be responsible for ensuring a timetable of activities occurs on the ward, either by running these yourself or by facilitating others.
You will value Maori and Pacifica culture and be skilled at engaging people from every walk of life to ensure that each person receives the best health outcomes. You will have a good knowledge of Te Whare Tapa Wha and meaningfully adopt the agreement of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Ideally, you will have some knowledge of the Hui Process and the Meihana model, and if not, you will be willing to learn.
You will be able to assess a person's functioning, provide intervention, and make recommendations based on what you have observed. You will liaise closely with the MDT and the community team and services to ensure the best outcome for the person. You will consult with peer support workers and other advisors, and make good use of supervision.
This role is challenging but satisfying; you will make meaningful changes in people's lives.
Here at Capital, Coast & Hutt Valley District, we embrace diversity and welcome applications from all people, including all gender identities, ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, disabilities, and religions. A workforce that is diverse and inclusive means that we are better positioned to understand and serve our community.
Capital, Coast & Hutt Valley District are a pro-equity health organisation, with a particular focus on Maori, Pacific Peoples, and the Disability Community.
