Our client is seeking an experienced Community Neuro Physiotherapist to join their Wellington based interdisciplinary team.
This is not a sports concussion role. The work is meaningful, complex and grounded in real life. You’ll support clients recovering from car accidents, domestic violence, spinal injuries and traumatic brain injuries. The client group spans children through to older adults (85+), with a high Māori patient population and strong whānau involvement.
Rehabilitation is delivered in both clinic and community settings, and education forms a core part of the work. Much of your impact will come from your ability to clearly explain, coach and empower clients and their families as they navigate recovery.
This service is being intentional about finding the right person. Cultural fit, communication and genuine commitment matter just as much as clinical skill.
