The Opportunity
MidCentral is looking for an experienced physiotherapist to work in the Older Person Assessment Liaison (OPAL) Unit. This position is permanent, full-time and will be based at the Palmerston North Hospital.
The OPAL Unit is an inpatient ward for older persons with frailty. Its purpose is to assess and treat issues that are causing frailty, to return people to their homes as soon as possible and put plans in place to continue their improvements in health once home.
In this role, you will be working in a transdisciplinary team consisting of geriatricians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers, NASC, nurses and allied health assistants. This unit will link with the OPAL community team.
We are looking for a physiotherapist who:

Enjoys teamwork
Has good time management
