Blenheim, New Zealand Nelson Marlborough Health Full time

**Wairau Hospital and Marlborough Community**

Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand (Nelson Marlborough) formerly NMDHB
- ** Are you looking for a change of career direction and interested in a role in health?**:

- ** Are you looking for a health role for a gap year or permanently?**:

- ** Are you an experienced healthcare assistant looking to explore nursing/midwifery/social work options?**:

- ** Permanent full-time, part-time, fixed-term and casual options available.**

Earn, learn and decide what direction you want to go, whether it's studying nursing, midwifery or social work, or medicine, or any allied health profession at a tertiary provider. We currently have apprenticeship vacancies to become a fully qualified** Healthcare Assistant** based in various departments both in the hospital (e.g. ED, Paediatrics, Inpatients (AT&R/Medical/Surgical) or in the community (e.g. District Nursing, Mental Health, Aged Care).

All roles are focused on learning how to support nurses working in these busy areas. You will experience all aspects of healthcare, from learning about health monitoring (e.g. helping with patient cares, patient watches, taking blood pressures), through to helping patients in their daily lives and keeping things running smoothly (e.g. stock control, cleaning equipment, tidying).

Each month you will learn a new range of skills. You will have both formal training (e.g. Health and Wellbeing qualifications), plus on-the job learning.

This role will appeal to people with experience who want to get into formal training, or those with no experience but an interest in healthcare. All we ask is enthusiasm and a desire to learn about one of New Zealand’s fastest growing sectors. As part of the apprenticeship programme you will be required to enrol in an appropriate health care qualification, for example NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing Level 3. Successful completion of the qualification gained can be used as a stepping stone to tertiary education if desired e.g. nursing, midwifery, social work.

The full-time equivalent salary range for a healthcare assistant is $51,770 to $61,540 based on the current NZNO Nursing and Midwifery MECA, dependent on skills, experience & relevant qualifications.
- Te Whatu Ora staff are required to have completed their primary course of two NZ approved COVID-19 vaccinations._
