Occupational Therapist | Burwood Campus

2 months ago

Christchurch, New Zealand Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora Waitaha... Full time

Permanent full and part time opportunities available in both our Pain Management and Vocational Rehab teams; indicate your preference in your cover letter.

Join a supportive team who are passionate about the complexities of helping individuals manage chronic pain or helping patients return to work following a significant event/illness.

Mo te tunga | About the Role

We have multiple opportunities for experienced Occupational Therapists to join us at Burwood Hospital as part of our wider Older Person's Health and Rehabilitation Service. The roles available are both permanent part and full time across our Vocational Rehabilitation and Pain Management teams. Please indicate on your cover letter the hours and areas of interest for you.

Vocational Rehabilitation works together with the client, their employer, GP, other treatment providers, and whanau to make their recovery and return to work a safe and sustainable process. Vocational Rehabilitation meets the client and their employer at Burwood and onsite at their workplace and prepares a structured rehabilitation plan with an aim towards a clear return to work date. Vocational Rehabilitation provides a work-specific functional programme and monitors the client's rehabilitation journey to achieve the best outcomes for our clients and their employers.

Pain Management provides an interdisciplinary approach that is tailored to meet the complex needs of individuals with chronic pain. The service aims to restore functional ability and enable individuals to live as independently as possible despite their pain. Pain Management involves learning different ways of thinking and acting so that pain interferes less with life.

A self-management approach requires an individual to play an active role in their pain management and emphasises an improvement in quality of life and function, rather than a cure.

Ko wai koe | About You

In this role, you will be responsible for:

Providing comprehensive assessments, evaluations, and treatments in accordance with policies, procedures, and standards of practice for Occupational Therapy.

Educating and providing resources to clients and their employers around the return to work and recovery process within Vocational Rehabilitation.

Using Occupational Therapy modalities to support learning and improvement in the individual's management of their chronic pain.

Ensuring appropriate documentation and patient records are updated and maintained.

Contributing to quality service provision within the Vocational Rehabilitation or Pain Management service, the Occupational Therapy service, and the wider Burwood site.

Nga pukenga me nga wheako | Skills and Experience

Ability to complete thorough assessments and flexibly integrate interventions using problem solving and robust communication, whilst being led by your client's goals.

Experience in working with patients with significant neurological events would also be an advantage.

Experience working with mental health conditions would be an advantage.

You will be registered with the NZ Occupational Therapy Board with a current annual practicing certificate.
