Hastings, New Zealand Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora Full time

**Hawke’s Bay Fallen Soldier’s Hospital, Intensive Care Unit**:

- **Permanent, Part-time, hours negotiable**:

- **Rewarding Career** - Be part of a team that saves lives and improves health outcomes daily.

Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora is firmly grounded in the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and is committed to building a health system that serves all New Zealanders.

**About the Role**

As a Clinical Nurse Specialist - Patient at Risk (CNS-PAR), you will play a critical role in identifying and supporting the care of deteriorating patients across the in-patient wards. Working alongside a team of dedicated professionals, you’ll provide rapid, expert clinical input to patients at risk of deterioration, supporting ward staff with complex decision-making and early intervention.

In this diverse and dynamic role, you’ll split your time between hands-on clinical work (typically in ICU or ED) and your CNS-PAR responsibilities. You will also support education initiatives through formal study days and informal bedside teaching, enhancing the clinical capability of ward-based staff. This role is part of an expanding service and will include participation in a rotating roster covering AM, PM, and (soon to be included) night shifts.

**About the Team/Service/ Location**

Our CNS-PAR team consists of approximately 13 experienced nurses providing seven-day coverage of AM and PM shifts. The team is managed by an Associate Clinical Nurse Manager (ACNM) and reports directly to the Intensive Care Service. We are currently growing our team to ensure continuous coverage and enhance our ability to support patients and staff around the clock.

Hawke’s Bay offers excellent work-life balance, sun, beaches, exceptional outdoor adventures, great schools, mountains and skiing close by, wonderful food and stunning wineries, vibrant cities and plenty more to boast about. For more information on living and working in Hawke’s Bay click HERE
