Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity

Plunket Nurses assess the growth and development of tamariki.

You will meet with whānau (both home visits and in clinics) where you'll foster trusting relationships in the community and adopt a holistic approach to deliver culturally appropriate and personalised support. Working alongside a highly motivated team you'll be committed to delivering engaging care where whānau have a safe space to share parenting challenges and celebrate successes.

Working in the community during a cost of living crisis means you will undoubtedly meet whānau who are facing significant challenges. Our clinical responsibilities co-exist with the need to ensure pēpi are being raised in safe and healthy homes.
