- Assessment and treatment of Surgical, Medical and AT&R inpatients with appropriate goal setting and outcome measures
- Support transition from inpatients into community
- Work as an integral part of the inpatient inter-disciplinary team
- Support the community team as necessary
- Liaising with all appropriate health professionals and other agencies to ensure we achieve the best outcomes for our patients
- Providing education for the families/whānau and carers of our patients as necessary

**About You**

- The ability to be an effective team member, recognising the importance of team work
- The ability to work independently, yet seek support when needed
- Strong communication skills and cultural awareness
- You must be flexible with excellent time management
