Are you a dedicated Nursing Leader or Registered Nurse looking to take a step into leadership in telehealth? Our PlunketLine team are excited to be seeking the support of a permanent full time Clinical Leader, to be based in Auckland, Christchurch or Wellington. 

PlunketLine is our free, 24 hour, 7 day a week telehealth service providing support and health assessments to parents and caregivers of pēpi and tamariki under 5 years. We have two contact centres in Auckland and Wellington with Nurses in a variety of locations across the motu.

Te Whiwhinga mahi - The opportunity

As part of our PlunketLine leadership team and reporting to the PlunketLine Manager, you'll be an effective leader of a team of Telehealth Nurses. You'll ensure the team is offering quality, timely care to all PlunketLine callers and work to identify and implement ongoing continuous improvement suggestions.

You'll have the opportunity to identify and develop the strengths of others, providing opportunities for growth and quality service for our community, whilst also growing and developing your own leadership skillset. This is mostly a Monday - Friday role with daytime shifts however since our Nurses deliver an essential service 24/7, our Clinical Leaders also have an on call roster in case of any escalations (one weeknight each week, and every fifth weekend).
