About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Registered Nurse to work in the Te Anau and surrounding districts on a part time basis up to 0.4 FTE.  You will provide holistic nursing care and support care to a variety of clients, in Te Anau and surrounds, ranging from terminal care and post discharge follow-up. You will be responsible for planning and implementing care to a diverse range of patients.

About the Team/Service/ Location

Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora - Southern has the largest geographical coverage of all the New Zealand regions, providing services to 350,000 people in diverse communities. We take pride in all the services we provide, and our aim is to improve, promote and protect the health of our region. We believe that our dedicated and passionate staff are a significant driving force behind the achievement of these standards, and we need more like-minded people to help us continue providing for our community.

About you

You will be a passionate, committed and enthusiastic nurse who has a positive attitude. This is the perfect opportunity for those of you who have broad experience from a surgical and medical or community setting, and of course, you’ll love to work autonomously within the community.  It is essential that applicants have had 3-5 years of varied post-basic nursing experience.

Because you will be driving every day, a full, clean driver’s licence is essential for this role.

You must be registered in accordance with the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 as a Registered Nurse and have a current practicing certificate. 

If you think, working in the community is where you want your career to go and you currently do not have specific community experience, we would still like to hear from you.
