Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity


We are seeking a suitably qualified Maaori Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) to join our adult acute inpatient team on ward 35.

You will be one of a team of three Maaori Clinical Nurse Specialists employed to create radical change for Maaori.


  • We are seeking strong and resilient Maaori clinicians who will be able to support both taangata whai ora and their whaanau during an acute admission. The CNS will work alongside the clinical team with a focus on creating positive outcomes using a strong Te Ao Maaori lens, whilst delivering excellent care.
  • Maaori are significantly over represented across our service and you will need to have an understanding of the inequities for Maaori in the system; the Maaori Clinical Nurse Specialist roopu goal is to achieve better outcomes. This role will be essential in creating partnerships with Maaori across all levels including taangata whai ora and whaanau, Maaori staff and the Kaitakawaenga team, and supporting our non

E paa ana ki a maatou | About us

Moo too maatou roopuu | About our team

  • It's the perfect time to join our team. We have a brand new facility being built which will be ready for occupancy in 2026; you will get to work in a state of the art purpose built facility, where we aim to be delivering a service which is culturally led and clinically underpinned. Be part of leading this change, alongside a great team of managers, clinical leaders and Maaori including our taangata whaiora and whaanau.

Mōu | About you- A 'you can do it' attitude is vital in this fast paced and high activity environment. A 'curiosity' to enquire what will make a difference for an individual tāngata whai ora and their whānau, and a willingness to lead change to truly make a difference, are all essential skills you hold. You will identify as Maaori and have a good understanding of Te Ao Maaori and your own identity and whakapapa connections. You will need to be able to work in an environment where you will need to have difficult conversations, advocating what is right for Maaori in what is a generally western approach to care. You should have 4-5 years clinical experience. We are hoping that you will be one of a number of catalysts that will support this ward and the wider adult acute facility to become a more cultural led and clinical underpinned service.
If you are Maaori and believe you have the right skills, a Te Ao Maaori perspective and knowledge, energy, enthusiasm and professional qualities to lead changes in a team going forward then we would like to hear from you
