Palmerston North, New Zealand Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand Te Pae Hauora o Ruahine o Tararua MidCentral Full time

MidCentral actively seeks Māori into our workforce to reflect the community we serve.

The Social Work team at Te Pae Hauora o Ruahine o Tararua | MidCentral provides services to the wider MidCentral region. 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 24 hours per week, covering a parental leave vacancy and is based in the Palmerston North/ Manawatu 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 OPAL CS teams are co-located in the community of the three key localities of the MidCentral Region: Palmerston North City/ Feilding, Horowhenua, and Tararua.

**Social Work role**

The social worker 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.

The applicant must have a recognised social work qualification, New Zealand registration, relevant experience in the health field, enthusiasm, excellent communication skills, a sense of humour and be able to work in a transdisciplinary setting along with other health and community based professionals.

A driver's licence is essential and ANZASW membership is desirable.
