This is an opportunity to provide clinical leadership to a team of physios and be part of the senior leadership team managing our community contracts and the running of the clinics in Te Rapa.  Reporting to the Managing Director, you will be able to use your exceptional customer services, people management and organisational skills to ensure Active+ Waikato provides a premier Physiotherapy service to our clients.

• Providing clinical leadership to the physio team, including supporting new staff with orientation and development
• Continuing to maintain your physio skills by carrying a caseload
• Assisting the business with audit requirements, planning and growth
• Overseeing Physiotherapy staff, including leave management, training and service standards
• Managing external relationships with suppliers
• Working with the management team to ensure the smooth running and professional presentation of our Te Rapa clinic; and in the development and streamlining of services across our Waikato region.
• We offer a competitive remuneration package dependent on qualifications and experience.
