Osteopath – Ohakune Health Hub

Expires: 6 Jun 2026
  • Job Vacancies

Experienced Osteopath | Established Client Base | Lifestyle + Career

Ohakune Health Hub is seeking an experienced Osteopath (minimum 3+ years clinical experience) to join our well-established clinic in the heart of the Central Plateau.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a thriving, ready-made client base across Ohakune, Raetihi and surrounding rural communities. You will be the only Osteopath in the region, servicing a highly physical population including skiers, mountain bikers, builders, farmers, runners and outdoor enthusiasts.

Why This Role Is Special

  • Strong existing caseload from day one
  • Sole Osteopath in the area
  • Excellent referral relationships with the local medical practice
  • Collaborative team environment (working alongside physiotherapy and massage therapy)
  • A community that truly values hands-on care

This region has historically experienced limited access to equitable health services, meaning you will work with a diverse range of presentations — from acute sporting injuries to complex and chronic medical histories. Clinical confidence, sound diagnostic reasoning, and strong communication skills are essential.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Minimum 3 years’ post-graduate clinical experience
  • Confident managing complex cases independently
  • Comfortable working in a rural setting
  • Strong manual therapy and clinical reasoning skills
  • Enjoys collaboration and interdisciplinary care
  • Values community engagement

Position Details

  • Flexible employment structure: contractor or employee
  • Full-time or part-time options considered
  • Established client base from commencement
  • Administrative support provided

Lifestyle Perks 

Ohakune offers an enviable lifestyle:

  • Skiing and snow sports at Mt Ruapehu
  • World-class mountain biking
  • Hiking and trail running
  • No commute. No traffic.
  • Affordable entry into the housing market
  • A tight-knit community with great cafés, restaurants and culture

If you enjoy the outdoors and want a balanced, meaningful clinical career without the Auckland pace — this is a genuine lifestyle upgrade.
