District Nurse

District Nurse – 0.6FTE (minimum) fixed term for 15 months

Mō te tūranga | About the role:

Ready to take your nursing skills beyond the clinic walls and into the heart of the community? 

We have a rare opportunity for a Registered Nurse to join our District Nurse team to cover for parental leave — perfect for someone who’s keen to make a meaningful impact while enjoying variety, autonomy, and a supportive team culture. Hours of work include Monday to Friday rostered days, shared rostered weekend days and the potential to occasionally work additional hours to cover leave.

Mōu ake | About you:

You will be a Registered Nurse with top-notch assessment and critical thinking skills. Wound care expertise? Even better! Chemotherapy or infusion credentialed? That’s a bonus, but not a dealbreaker.

You’ll be working autonomously in the community, delivering care where it’s needed most. No two days are the same — and that’s part of the fun.

You will need:

• Current Annual Practicing Certificate
• Full NZ Driver’s License
• A passion for community care and a proactive, can-do attitude

Please see the District Nurse job description addendum on our website for key attributes and specific skillset requirements.

If this sounds like you, and you would like to come and join our small, close-knit team and build on your great clinical experience we would welcome your application.
