Tōpūtanga Tapuhi Kaitiaki o Aotearoa: The New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) is the lead professional union for nurses. Our job and responsibility is to represent more than 60,000 nurses, midwives, students, kaimahi hauora, and health workers in Aotearoa/ New Zealand. We represent the interests of nurses on professional and employment related matters. We are affiliated to the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions (NZCTU).

  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy with numerical data
  • Excellent organisational and time management skills, with the ability to meet strict deadlines

  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach to resolving queries and issues
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to build trust with staff at all levels
  • A commitment to NZNO's values, including upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi and supporting equity in the workplace

· Understanding and support of not-for-profits and unions
