Description
About the Mahi (Role)
We have an exciting opportunity for up to three experienced and motivated Physiotherapists or Occupational Therapists to join our Auckland Well At Work team.
This is a dynamic, community-based role with a varied caseload spanning ACC Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VRS), early intervention, and private vocational services – no two days are the same.
You’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: autonomy in your day-to-day work, alongside strong support from a collaborative team of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, and Vocational Consultants.
These are full-time positions (1.0 FTE), with flexibility to work across Auckland. While we welcome applications from all locations, North Shore and South Auckland are preferred areas.
You’ll also have the flexibility to complete administrative tasks from home, supporting a healthy and sustainable work-life balance.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct vocational assessments for ACC-funded, early intervention, and private clients to enable safe and sustainable return-to-work outcomes.
- Deliver client education, rehabilitation, and work-focused interventions across a variety of workplace settings.
- Coordinate return-to-work programmes, including workplace assessments, job task analysis, and liaison with employers, case managers, and healthcare providers.
- Provide workplace education and training in manual handling, injury prevention, and ergonomics.
- Support the development and promotion of vocational rehabilitation services across Auckland, building strong relationships with employers and key stakeholders.
Benefits of joining TBI Health
At TBI Health, we're passionate about helping our people thrive. You'll join a supportive organisation that values collaboration, professional development, innovation, and delivering meaningful outcomes for our clients and communities.
In return for your expertise and commitment, we offer:
- A car, mobile phone and laptop are provided as part of the role.
- Competitive Salary + Bonuses.
- Subsidised health insurance with Southern Cross (must be employed 20 or more hours to qualify).
- Flexible work hours.
- Comprehensive internal training programmes to help you grow and develop your career.
- Annual contribution to career development which can be used to attend conferences and continue post graduate studies.
- Inclusive culture which embraces and celebrates diversity of its people.
- Attend several training sessions during the year focused on teaching how to incorporate Māori tikanga in your role appropriately.
- Due to our size and spread, there are opportunities for career progression either locally or in other areas of NZ.
- Birthday leave (must be employed 20 or more hours to qualify).
- Wellbeing allowance is currently valued at $250 if you are employed for 20 hours or more per week or $100 for employees who work under 20 hours per week.
