**Acute Nursing Team Leader | Kaihautū**
We’re looking for a dynamic and compassionate Registered Nurse to step into a leadership role at the Pegasus Health 24 Hour Surgery — someone who brings clinical expertise, a genuine love for people, and the ability to bridge the realities of frontline care with leadership.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the future of urgent care nursing in Canterbury, working alongside a passionate team in a fast-paced, high-trust environment.
**What You’ll Be Doing**
**As our Acute Nursing Team Leader, you’ll**:
- Provide professional leadership and support to our nursing team

This role is 32 hours per week, including some rostered clinical shifts.
**What You’ll Bring**
- 5+ years post-registration experience, with a strong acute care background
- Orthopaedic experience is an advantage, though not a prerequisite
- Postgraduate study completed or in progress
- Proven clinical leadership and outstanding communication skills
- A passion for people, teamwork, and improving healthcare outcomes
- Ability to lead with empathy, clarity, and confidence — especially under pressure
- Experience working across clinical and management boundaries
**About Us**
The Pegasus Health 24 Hour Surgery is a cornerstone of urgent care in Canterbury, providing high-quality medical and accident services to our community — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Located in our purpose-built facility at 401 Madras Street, we’re proud to offer a supportive, people-first environment where clinical excellence and wellbeing go hand in hand.
At Pegasus Health, you’ll be part of a team that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous growth. We offer a vibrant workplace culture, a strong focus on staff wellbeing, and opportunities to make a real impact.
