Mo te turanga - About the role
We have an exciting opportunity for a Physiotherapist with experience in musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, and rehabilitation clinical practice, or those with a keen interest in developing skills in these areas, to join our Physiotherapy Outpatients team at Dunedin Hospital.
In this role, you'll work with a diverse range of age groups and conditions including first presentation ACC injuries, primarily in the outpatient setting. You'll need to demonstrate strong capabilities in musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, and rehabilitation clinical practice and knowledge, working effectively and autonomously.
Patients are referred from Fracture Clinic, Orthopaedics, Rheumatology, and other specialist outpatient services, General Practitioners, and community Services.
The ideal candidate will possess a solid understanding of working with patients to achieve functional and vocational goals, optimizing patient outcomes, and facilitating effective discharge and self-management.
This role requires participation in weekend and on-call service rosters for Dunedin Hospital acute inpatient services.
At our hospital, we take pride in supporting our staff's professional growth. We offer ongoing support and professional development programs, including regular team in-services, senior staff mentoring and peer review, a comprehensive on-call competency training framework, and access to course and conference funding.
We are seeking a dynamic, motivated, and enthusiastic team-player with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. You'll be self-driven to enhance service quality in collaboration with others, alongside a dedicated supportive Physiotherapy team.
The ideal candidate will bring relevant experience in musculoskeletal assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation. Additional experience with routine and complex rheumatology and orthopaedic conditions, managing persistent pain and chronic pathologies would be an advantage.
We value clinicians who can work independently while actively engaging with our supportive team, participating in regular peer reviews and professional development activities. Additionally, you'll play a crucial role in teaching and supporting rotational physiotherapist staff, Allied Health Assistants, and students.
