About the Mahi (Role)
Are you an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist ready to take the next step in your career and develop your skills in Hand Therapy?
We have an exciting opportunity to join our growing Hand Therapy service across the Mana and Kāpiti regions as an Associate Hand Therapist.
This permanent, part-time role (32 hours per week, Monday to Thursday) is split between our Mana and Kāpiti clinics, offering variety, flexibility, and the chance to work with a wide range of clients.
You will work alongside two experienced Registered Hand Therapists who will provide mentoring and guidance as you continue your journey toward registration. There is an opportunity that TBI may support your journey to become a registered Hand Therapist.
