Wakari Hospital

Permanent Position
Part Time, 0.5 FTE (20 hours per week)

Here at the Southern DHB, the highest possible levels of patient care and service lie at the heart of our mission. Integral to this is a commitment to creating a high-performing organisation with a focus on quality.
About the Team
The Intellectual Disability Service (IDS) is part of the Specialist Mental Health Services based at Wakari Hospital, high above Dunedin with stunning views of the city and ocean.

You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team comprising Registered Nurses, Enrolled Nurses, Mental Health Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, and Psychiatrists.
About You / About the Role
Our Intellectual Disability Service based at Wakari Hospital is looking for a Clinical Psychologist to join the Community Liaison Team. The Community Liaison Team plays a pivotal role in the support and rehabilitation of care recipients both in the inpatient ward and in the community.

The clinical psychologist role is an integral and valued member of a multidisciplinary team providing patient-centred interventions.
