Physiotherapist

Centre of Movement – Rotorua, North Island

Join the Centre of Movement Team – An Exciting Opportunity in Rotorua, New Zealand

The Centre of Movement has officially opened in Rotorua, delivering intensive therapy to children with neurological and developmental disabilities. Families have previously travelled to our Australian clinic to access this level of care, and now it’s available right here in Aotearoa. We’re proud to be building a skilled local team and a supportive community committed to meaningful outcomes for children and their families.

We provide intensive therapy programs for children with neurological and developmental conditions, including (but not limited to) cerebral palsy (hypertonia, hypotonia, ataxia, dystonia), traumatic brain injury, spina bifida, neurological disorders, stroke (CVA), genetic conditions and global developmental delay.

We are seeking Physiotherapists who take a holistic, family‑centred approach to therapy and are passionate about helping children progress toward meaningful milestones.

We are currently hiring for our Rotorua clinic, so if you’re based in the region or open to relocating, we’d love to hear from you.
