Plunket Nurses assess the growth and development of tamariki and are trusted clinical advisors who walk alongside whānau. You will meet with whānau across Oamaru, Kurow, and Twizel (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 personalized support. Working alongside a highly motivated and experienced team (another Plunket Nurse and Health Worker), 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 deliver social support to ensure pēpi are being raised in safe and healthy homes. We offer 6 weeks of orientation with ongoing preceptor support to help you find your feet. Community Nursing requires a particular set of skills. You may start the day with 5 whānau booked in for visits; one might need to cancel, another might be late, and the last appointment might present significant concerns and take longer than anticipated. So, you will need to be resourceful, resilient, and comfortable making decisions to ensure we maintain a high-quality experience and minimize risks for our clients. We are confident we can give you great support with our experienced team - so we are open to both new graduates and experienced nurses. It is vital that you enjoy working with pēpi; however, the majority of your interactions will be with caregivers. In order to deliver the right support, you'll need to have exceptional active listening skills and be able to ask questions tactfully. Working with whānau from all walks of life will require you to be a bit of a chameleon in order to build trust and communicate effectively with different people. To be successful in this role, you will: Be a Registered Nurse Hold or be able to obtain an Annual Practicing Certificate Hold a full clean NZ Drivers Licence Be committed to completing a 12 month Post Graduate Certificate in Well Child Tamariki ora should your employment extend beyond the 12 months fixed term (we would cover the cost for this) Work close to home in a community-based role A Monday – Friday role, with some flexibility to work around you 'Well Health Day': the ability to use sick leave for a proactive planned health day Ongoing opportunities for personal and professional development Various wellbeing schemes such as a Wellbeing day: use one of your sick leave days to proactively protect your well being In line with our ongoing goal to support our kaimahi to thrive in a culturally safe environment, we have multiple communities of interest for kaimahi Māori, Pasifika, Asian, and more.
