Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity

Our Nurses are a key part of our organisation conducting home visits and facilitating clinics performing checks to ensure pēpi are developing and growing and provide clinical advice which empowers our whānau to succeed and prosper in their journey raising tamariki.

You will work in the Inglewood area in partnership with a wide variety of whānau to support and enhance parents, you will also assess growth and development of tamariki.

The care we provide often requires working with multiple agencies and specialists. While it will not be up to you alone to make the difference, you’ll be able to leverage and work with other community support and our Whānau Āwhina services to respond to the needs of our community.

He kōrero mōu | About you

We’re interested in hearing from new graduates, established Nurses and we also have our Return to Nursing Competency Assessment Programme for nurses who have not practiced recently.

The uniqueness of the whānau we connect with is what makes our role interesting. You will be flexible in your approach with the ability to provide culturally safe care, and your ability to ask the right questions, actively listen and convey information will mean your advice suits the needs of the whānau in front of you.

While the autonomy of working on your own and home visiting will be attractive to you, your ability to work in collaboration with others will be the key to your success. Our team place whānau at the centre of what we do, and you will share this value.
