Mō te tūranga | About the role

We are looking for an Occupational Therapist to join our fantastic team based in Invercargill. In this role you’ll have the opportunity to be the expert in your field. Work across a variety of ACC services including vocational rehab, concussion, and training for independence throughout the Southland region; alongside custom assessments for some of the large employers in the greater region. 

In this role you will work with clients and their whanau, employers and other stakeholders, providing therapy, support and education to clients to enable them to move through their recovery journey and achieve their goals. You will be working in a multi-disciplinary team with a collaborative style, with a holistic and bespoke approach, ensuring we provide our clients with the best possible outcomes. 

Our team is full of a diverse group of fun, energised and client focused individuals. The goal for the Southland region is to provide excellence across our spectrum of services; through tried practice as well as through innovative change – with the help from an experienced and supportive team.
