Te Whatu Ora, Health New Zealand Te Pae Hauora o Ruahine o Tararua MidCentral (MidCentral) provides healthcare services to over 180,000 people across the Manawatū, Horowhenua and Tararua regions.

MidCentral District is looking for an experienced Allied Health Social Worker to join the Older People's Assessment and Liaison Community Service (OPAL CS).

**This position is permanent/part time, approximately 25 hours per week and is based in the Tararua community.**

**What is OPAL CS?**

OPAL CS delivers home-based care for older people with complex age related physical, social, long-term conditions or mental health needs. This service aims to shift more health care from hospital settings closer to people's homes, and pivotally, incorporate Kaupapa Māori approaches in its service to achieve equitable outcomes for Māori kaumatua.

**The Opportunity**

The successful applicant will be working in the community alongside a supportive transdisciplinary team consisting of geriatricians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, NASC, Māori connectors, allied health assistants. The team will partner with general practices and community providers to identify older people with frailty in the community to provide comprehensive geriatric assessments and deliver therapy services to help them remain independent at home. The team will also be supporting people transitioning home from hospital settings and your work will be based in various clinical locations, visiting clients in the community, and in associated facilities.

**To be successful in this role you must**:

- Have a recognised social work qualification and New Zealand registration
- Have relevant experience in the health field
- Bring enthusiasm, excellent communication skills and a sense of humour
- Be able to work in a transdisciplinary setting along with other health and community based professionals.
- Hold a current, full driver's licence

- We strive to be a place where people love to work and learn. We aim to develop a diverse team that reflects the communities that we serve and we welcome people of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religious and political beliefs, socio-economic situations and accessibility needs. MidCentral actively seeks Māori into our workforce to reflect the community we serve._
- Some positions are defined as a Core Children's worker under the Children's Act and require full safety checks completed before employment commences._
