Te whiwhinga mahi: The opportunity

Join our Lakes team as a part-time Community Nurse and make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals, whānau, and communities across the region.

In this role, you'll provide comprehensive, person and whānau-centred nursing care across a range of settings, including clinics, homes, schools, community locations, and telehealth. Working collaboratively with general practice teams, community providers, iwi and Māori health providers, specialist services, and wider health and social support agencies, you'll help improve health outcomes, access to care, self-management, and equity.
