Job description

Pacific Health Group is a nationwide healthcare provider, specialising in the rehabilitation space. We enable people to live their best lives and empower our teams to realise their full potential.

Do you have a passion for guiding people back into meaningful employment after illness or injury? Our Palmerston North clinic is looking for a Vocational Consultant, who will combine their clinical expertise with problem‑solving skills to assess abilities, design tailored rehabilitation and return‑to‑work plans, and support clients to reach their full potential. You’ll work closely with employers, healthcare providers and ACC to create safe, sustainable outcomes — making a real difference in people’s lives every day.

You will have a mixture of face‑to‑face and telehealth appointments working primarily on ACC work with the option of ACC work in the future. This is a part‑time role (2.5 days); however, full‑time would be considered for the right candidate.

You must have CDANZ membership to be eligible for this role.

Main Responsibilities

  • Handle claims, reporting to ACC with a sense of urgency
  • Carry out career competencies assessments for rehabilitation clients
  • Create action plans for career change / development
  • Ensure physical rehabilitation needs are prioritised and put in place

The Benefits Of Working With Us

  • Market competitive salary – we are committed towards achieving pay parity and ensuring that our teams feel valued
  • Monthly bonus scheme aimed at boosting your earnings!
  • Annual budget set aside for professional development / study
  • Active manager feedback and clinical mentorship aimed at growth and excellence
  • Permanent part‑time role (consideration given for full‑time) with clear career progression
  • Great team culture with regular social events, weekly treats, award schemes
  • Well‑being initiatives : annual eye exam, flu vaccination, access to EAP services
  • Provision of enhanced AI tools aimed at boosting your performance

    Pacific Health Group is proud to have introduced Heidi notes for all its clinicians to ensure they have access to the best possible tools to help them excel. Heidi is an AI medical scribe that automates clinical documentation and decreases administrative work. This enables you to focus on clinical care and excellence. In turn, you will be better equipped to make best use of our uncapped incentive programme that enables clinicians to earn an extra performance bonus every single month!

    The Ideal Candidate

  • Tertiary qualification / Career Development Association of New Zealand member
  • We’re looking for an analytical thinker who is quick to problem solve
  • Excellent communication skills – you will be meeting all sorts of great people!
  • Friendly and approachable demeanour
  • If you think you have the experience and can‑do attitude to make it even bigger with an organisation that rewards your worth, we want to hear from you!
