Clinical Nurse Specialist - Rimutaka Prison About this role

Ngā kawenga | About the role

Are you prepared to embark on an invigorating role within a dynamic, multi-disciplinary team? As a Clinical Nurse Specialist, you'll have the extraordinary chance to deliver specialised Mental Health nursing services that will enhance the well-being of those entrusted to our care. From initial triage and assessment to implementing evidence-based treatments, you'll assume a pivotal role in amalgamating primary health and tertiary mental health services. Moreover, as an integral member of our Mental Health team, you'll immerse yourself in a supportive environment with opportunities for professional development, clinical supervision, and a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation-oriented healthcare within the prison setting.

In your role as a CNS, you'll take the lead in supporting the professional growth of fellow mental health professionals within the Intervention and Support Practice Team. Together, you'll provide vital mental health services to those in our care who are most vulnerable. This opportunity is ideal for a clinical professional passionate about fostering culturally safe practices and partnerships. Our teams are committed to demonstrating expert clinical practice, with a strong emphasis on Humanising and Healing. We deeply value the human dignity and inherent mana of all individuals and their whānau under our care. Join us on this exhilarating journey and make a lasting impact.

As the successful candidate, you will hold the title of Registered Nurse with a current Nursing Council of NZ Annual Practising Certificate. Your role requires a foundation in strong cultural competence, encompassing an understanding of the Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its application, along with cultural knowledge and experience in working with and for Māori, whānau, and iwi.

Your professional background should include specialist Mental Health nursing experience in primary/community, secondary, or tertiary settings. It is imperative that you can demonstrate relevant experience, especially in dealing with individuals facing acute and complex mental health and/or addiction issues.

You will need to exhibit a proven understanding of the professional, ethical, and legislative requirements associated with providing mental health service care and treatment within a prison context. While possessing a post-graduate qualification in Mental Health or working towards one is desirable, we also encourage applications from those in the process of obtaining this qualification.

Experience, qualifications, and registration in New Zealand are highly desirable. Preference will be given to candidates who have proven experience working within the New Zealand healthcare system, hold relevant New Zealand qualifications, and are currently registered with the appropriate regulatory bodies. This will ensure a smoother integration into our workforce and a deeper understanding of the local context and standards of care.

The full salary range is $114,025 - $121,444. Appointment and remuneration will reflect clinical competency, skills, and experience relevant to the role.

Applications Close 11pm Sunday, 23 March 2025.

Please apply and describe your motivation for joining the department, highlighting relevant skills and experience. Please include a tailored CV or Cover Letter if you have one. Alignment to our Kaupapa is critical to our success - we ask that you provide examples that reflect and demonstrate our organisation values.

Ara Poutama Aotearoa values diversity in our workforce, and as a Public Service organisation we are committed to building a workforce which reflects the public we serve. We strive to make our recruitment process fair and inclusive, and we encourage you to discuss reasonable accommodations with us if required.
