The Advancing Wellness at Home Initiative (AWHI) has an exciting opportunity for an Occupational Therapist to join our team. Day to day you will be working as part of an interdisciplinary team to support patients in their own homes to meet their rehabilitation goals. You will work with our inpatient colleagues, to identify patients who can beneficially progress their rehabilitation at home, initially with more intensive input from our team, and then transferring to Community Rehabilitation as required.
Whilst this role will have a particular focus on Stroke, the service to Older People and those discharging following an acute medical illness, as well as non
- acute rehabilitation, will also form part of your scope of service.
You will be working in an interprofessional practice model which means you will also complete rehabilitation interventions that may traditionally sit with other disciplines.
In order to offer a 7 day per week service, therapists in these roles will be rostered to work one weekend day per month with a rostered day off in the same fortnight.
**About the Team/Service/Location**

Our team currently includes Nurses, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech &Language Therapists, Social Workers and Allied Health Assistants.
We offer on-going professional development opportunities including inter-professional practice training, professional support, profession specific training though the relevant professional leaders and clinical supervision. Cultural professional supervision is available from Māori and Pacific Health teams. Our team is continuing to grow and there will be opportunities to innovate and develop the service.
**About you**
We are looking for an Occupational Therapist who is interested in expanding their skill set to working in an inter-professional role whilst sharing their discipline-specific knowledge and skills with the team.
You will have current registration/APC and recent clinical experience working with people under stroke/neurology or community rehabilitation specialties.
You will be able to demonstrate ability to build rapport with patient and whānau from all backgrounds and have a clear understanding of the health needs of our Māori and Pacific Island communities. You will have a flexible approach to working in a high turnover, fast paced environment and have an understanding of inter-professional practice.
