Contribute to transforming the future of health in this Clinical Nurse Specialist role
- Full time, fixed term opportunity
- Auckland based
- Be part of a National Service responsible for delivering health care management to those who need it most

Join Te Whatu Ora at a key time of change where you will meaningfully contribute to our kaupapa of creating a more equitable, accessible, cohesive and people-centred health system. This is mahi that will improve the health and well-being of everyone in Aotearoa, and we've got an opportunity for you to be part of it.

**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

In 2019 the Ministry of Health led a process, codesigned with consumers, to hear directly from New Zealand men and women affected by surgical mesh. The resulting report, Hearing and responding to the stories of survivors of surgical mesh: Ngā kōrero a ngā mōrehu - he urupare, highlighted the severity of the harm and the impact on the lives of those who experience complications from surgical mesh.

We are excited to be recruiting Clinical Nurse Specialists to a new service for Te Whatu Ora that specialises in the treatment and care of women with complications associated with surgical mesh that has been used to treat Stress Incontinence and Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

This is a national service delivered in two hubs: one Christchurch and one in Auckland. This role requires both direct care delivery and clinical support to other health professionals in the delivery of health care management of consumers across the continuum of health care e.g., primary, and secondary sector.

You will be working as part of a small supportive team with a challenging and meaningful programme of work.

**Mōu | About you**

You will be an exceptional Registered Nurse with proven expert nursing knowledge, experience, and skills to provide support as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in this new service.

**Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and experience**
- A nursing registration with a current Annual Practicing Certificate and a current Senior Nurse Portfolio
- Minimum 5 years' experience as a RN working in urology or urogynaecology, ideally with consumers experiencing complications associated with surgical mesh
- Ability to work collaboratively with health professionals and as an autonomous practitioner
- Excellent clinical assessment skills and role model for contemporary clinical practice
- Emotional intelligence and ability to work in complex and stressful environments, with a wide range of diverse stakeholders

**Ka kawea e koe | You will bring**:

- Competency with te ao Māori, tikanga, and te reo Māori or a commitment to starting your journey and taking ownership of your learning and growth

**Ko te mahi e tika ana mō te ao hurihuri nei |Work that suits today's ever -changing world**

Te Whatu Ora supports flexible and hybrid working for our kaimahi. In roles that don't require an in-person element, we encourage you to ‘work from where you are.' We want our national teams to be made up of diverse people from across the motu, just like our health system.

**Nau mai, uru mai | Come and join us**

When you join us, you become part of transforming the health system. This is a once in a life-time change, that will touch the lives of everyone in Aotearoa, and future generations.

Our name, Te Whatu Ora, means ‘the weaving of wellness'. Whatu is the combining together of people, resources, organisations, thoughts and actions for the betterment and wellbeing of all. Whatu is also a direct reference to the pupil of the eye, and the vision required of the new entity and system.

We are working towards a system that better meets the complex demands of a growing population, addresses the persistent inequalities experienced by Māori and ensures greater access, experience and outcomes for those traditionally not well served by the system - Māori, Pacific and Disabled People.

**Tō mātou whakahaere ki te tika, te rerekētanga, me te whai wāhi mai | Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion**
