More Than a Job

A Place to Grow

At Nurture Paediatrics, we believe children deserve healthcare designed specifically for them.

Children are not small adults. Their development, relationships, communication, participation and experiences of healthcare are unique. Our role is to support tamariki and their whānau with skill, warmth, curiosity and respect.

We are a paediatric rehabilitation and development organisation, with a clinical workforce primarily based in physiotherapy. We work alongside pēpi, tamariki, rangatahi and whānau to build confidence, movement, participation and wellbeing.

If you are looking for meaningful work, professional growth, and the opportunity to genuinely influence children's lives, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Physiotherapists Choose Nurture

Purpose-Driven Work

Every day, you will have the opportunity to support children and young people to participate in the activities, relationships and communities that matter most to them.

Your work might involve:

  • Developmental assessment and intervention

  • Musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation

  • Concussion management

  • Paediatric pain care

  • Neurological rehabilitation

  • Hypermobility and movement challenges

  • Return to sport, school and community participation

  • Working alongside schools, whānau and community providers

No two days are the same.

We Invest in Our Physiotherapists

We know that becoming an exceptional paediatric physiotherapist takes time, support and experience.

At Nurture, professional growth is not left to chance.

You'll Receive

✅ Structured onboarding

✅ Regular clinical supervision

✅ Mentoring from experienced paediatric clinicians

✅ Protected learning opportunities

✅ Support with professional development goals

✅ Opportunities to contribute to education, teaching and workforce development

✅ A culture where questions are welcomed, and learning is shared

One of our core organisational pillars is supervision and workforce development because we believe confident clinicians create better outcomes for children and whānau.

Who Thrives at Nurture?

We are looking for physiotherapists who are:

  • Curious and eager to learn

  • Passionate about working with children and families

  • Values-driven and relationship-focused

  • Reflective and open to feedback

  • Culturally safe in their practice

  • Comfortable working collaboratively

  • Motivated to advocate for children's health and participation

You do not need to know everything.

We value attitude, curiosity and commitment to learning just as much as clinical knowledge.

Whether You're New to Paediatrics or Highly Experienced

We welcome clinicians at different stages of their career.

Returning to Practice

If you've taken time away from clinical work and want a supportive environment to return to practice, we'd be happy to discuss flexible options.
