Careers in Mental Health

Te Whatu Ora Te Matau a Māui, Hawke's Bay’s Mental Health and Addiction Service comprises multi-disciplinary teams who are passionate, highly skilled, culturally responsible and people-focussed. Our team strives for the best possible standards to promote and support a person’s recovery, helping them live independent fulfilling lives.

A wide range of mental health and addiction services are delivered to children, adolescents, adults and older people living in Hawke’s Bay.

The diversity of our skillset provides health professionals who work within our supportive team a variety of opportunities and clinical experiences through inpatient, outpatient and community settings.

Equity is a key component and focus of our organisation, particularly supporting our Māori and Pacifica populations. Equity in health means that all groups have a fair opportunity to reach their full potential for a healthy life.

We’re at the centre of an exciting period of innovation and service development. Joining our team means you will be part of a move into new partnerships with our health partners and providers, such non-government organisations, to further develop our crisis, child and adolescent and early intervention services.
