Specialised Health is on the hunt for an Exercise Physiologist to join us in Hamilton!
We’re looking for the right person to join us and are considering contracting arrangements.
We are a high performing company, we unapologetically set high standards and our team strives for excellence. If you believe this could be you, and you want to be part of a bigger community of EPs then we’d love you to get in touch.
Our Company
With a team of 30 EPs, Specialised Health provides exercise-based rehab programs for clients across 5 states in Australia as well as both the North and South Islands of NZ.
We have become known as the specialist EPs operating in the Life Insurance scheme and it’s through this work that our EPs get to provide their expert opinion and prescription services for clients with a huge variety of conditions from cancer to fatigue and cardiac conditions as well as musculoskeletal and more.
The Role
This is a mobile role, so you’ll be independent in your work as well as completely flexible and autonomous in your day-to-day scheduling. While you will enjoy flexibility, you will still be supported, encouraged and ingrained in our team of awesome EPs and led by our NZ based Senior EP.
Our core services include:
- assessing, prescribing and supervising exercise-based rehab programs
- running programs from a client’s home, nearby outdoor parks, pools or their local gym
- working closely with OTs, Psychs, Vocational Consultants, GPs and Physios to help patients achieve their goals.
Our EPs are often helping clients get back on their bike again (literally), we might take them swimming, surfing, climbing, golfing, you name it, all in the name of rehab specificity and goal-oriented programming. So if you are active and love thinking laterally about your programming, we want to hear from you.
Your Future
We’re actively looking for EPs to progress into dual roles such as Account Management and Business Development positions, so if you believe you can execute your client-related work to a high level and you have a mind for business there are many progression opportunities available.
Essential Criteria:
- Accreditation with CEPNZ or ACSM as an Exercise Physiologist.
- The EP must possess strong written and verbal communication skills as they will be interacting with a range of parties including the GP, Rehabilitation Consultant, Insurer, and other treating parties.
- The EP must have experience in writing comprehensive reports that accurately document progress, barriers, and treatment goals.
- The EP must have access to a reliable vehicle and be willing to travel to various locations for appointments, including gyms, client homes, and local pools or parks.
