Occupational Therapist at Habit Health
Bachelor of Occupational Therapy at University of Otago
Describe a typical working day
My typical working week? Usually, I see up to 3 to 4 clients face-to-face per week. I will complete initial assessments for my stay-at-work clients and some social rehabilitation clients whom I see for needs assessments. When I’m not with my clients, I write reports and referrals, monitor return-to-work programmes, and discuss different strategies with colleagues to help my clients reach their goals.
What do you love most about your role
I really enjoy the opportunities and support we have here at Habit Health. We work with experienced clinicians with a wealth of knowledge, and I learn a lot from them. Whether they are in the office or a phone call away, they are always happy to help answer any clinical questions you may have or give advice.
