Ko Te Whatu Manawa Tangata
Putting people at the heart of all we do
For us to continue putting our communities at the centre of our health system, we’re putting our own people at the centre of everything we do. Because health is ultimately all about people. What’s important around here is the way we care for and respect others, the responsibility that all our people take for delivering outcomes, and that we go about our work with integrity in all we do.
What matters to us is doing the right thing, valuing everyone, and being and staying well ourselves so we can care for our community.
The Role: What This Opportunity's All About
The Mothers and Babies outpatient team is passionate about delivering specialist, client centred care to expectant mothers and primary caregivers in the post-partum period.

Your clients will be experiencing a variety of mental health problems including depression, psychosis and attachment difficulties. Treatment and case management are the key elements of this role. As a Clinical Psychologist you will enjoy case management and be a 'go to' person for when Clinical Psychology is required.
You will be self-motivated and flexible, able to work autonomously and in collaboration with your colleagues to provide comprehensive assessment and treatment to achieve the best outcomes of patients and their family/whanau. To achieve this, you will bring excellent interpersonal skills and mental health experience. Registration under the 'clinical scope' with the NZ Psychologists Board is mandatory.
This is a fixed-term contract covering a parental leave beginning Sept 2018 and coming to an end in Sept 2019.
You'll be working 20 hours per week. The arrangement of these hours will be discussed and mutually agreed upon.
