Flexibility of Role:

For the right candidate we can offer flexibility of role. This could be part-time or full-time, and either be a contract or permanent employment position.

We understand that stepping into private healthcare can feel a bit like a leap sometimes, so we'd be open to considering an initial contractor agreement and then reviewing that contract further down the line to give you the confidence, structure and tools to excel at what you do.

We do want a team player who wants to be part of a winning team in the clinic, but we also offer hybrid working so you would not need to be in the clinic at all times.

What we offer:

You will be well-rewarded. Contract rates would be negotiated, but these are extremely competitive. We respect talent and we want to ensure you get the reward you deserve.

You can make a difference. Do you see an opportunity to deliver a new service to support families? Might you spot a way we can improve what we deliver? Then we can make it happen. Fast. Continuous improvement is one of our core values.

You will be fully supported. When you're part of our team, then you have the support of the team. Marketing, admin, grading, scheduling, invoicing: All taken care of. We want to give you the space to focus on doing what you love and what you do best: Treating patients and helping their families thrive.

You will be part of a true centre of excellence. We are more than just a clinic. We have a podcast, we run the largest events for neurodivergent families in New Zealand, we deliver workshops for parents, schools, universities and businesses. This is about having a positive impact across Aotearoa and beyond.

You can grow. We have ambitious growth plans over the next three years. This is where you can fulfil your potential and be supported to deliver the kind of services and family transformations you always wanted to deliver.

You can have fun! We take our work seriously, but we don't always take ourselves seriously. You'll know that this job isn't always easy, so we do like to be able to laugh at ourselves, have team away days and regular cocktail evenings.
