Description

About the Mahi (Role)

We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated Physiotherapist to support the growth of our Ashburton clinic. We are open to full-time or part-time candidates, with flexibility in working hours.

You will build on the work of our current physiotherapist in the clinic, working as the sole physio alongside our local Occupational Therapist, helping to expand and develop the service further. You will work independently while being part of the broader Canterbury MDT, which includes Occupational Therapy and Psychology, and will be supported by our national MDT under a variety of ACC contracts.

The clinic is ideally located below a busy medical centre with established professional relationships, and next door to both a pharmacy and radiology, providing convenient access to complementary services.

At TBI Health, we are committed to delivering excellent, patient-focused rehabilitation services, making a meaningful impact on the lives of our clients through compassionate and comprehensive care. Your caseload could include Med Fees, Pain Management, ICP, Training for Independence, Early Intervention, VRS, SRNA, and Concussion services, depending on your skills and interests.

You will join a friendly and social team of around 20 employees across the Canterbury region and will be supported by the Regional Clinic Manager. As a key member of our Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation Team, you will also have access to the expertise and guidance of our National Network of highly trained rehabilitation professionals.

If you are looking to grow your leadership and clinical experience, work in a supportive environment, and make a real impact in your community, this could be the perfect role for you.
