Overseas based Physiotherapists

This role is open to overseas physios as well and we can help out with:

- Covering the costs of you travel/flights to NZ

- Assistance in gaining a VISA

- Guidance in applying for NZ Physio Board registration

- Finding accommodation here in Ashburton

We value our staff and offer all the support we can and being a standalone clinic, you won't get lost in a big chain. We also always strive to work with our clinicians to have the best lifestyle balance and are flexible with hours changes, whether you want to work 4 days a week or 5 or take days off here and there to go skiing or get away for a long weekend.

NZ Physio Board registration must be completed by the physio (this doesn't have to be done before applying for the role), if it hasn't been done already and an employer can't do this for you but the process is fairly straight forward and more info can be found on the board website HERE
