$60.47–$62.47 per hour

After-Hours Clinical Leadership Role

Carejobz Recruitment is partnering with one of Auckland's leading private hospitals to recruit an exceptional Clinical Nurse Advisor for their Advanced Nursing Team.

This position is perfect for a senior critical care nurse who thrives on autonomy, clinical complexity, and keeping hospital operations running safely after-hours.

About the Role

This is an after-hours "duty manager" style role, acting as the senior clinical decision-maker on site. You'll oversee hospital operations, support nursing teams, ensure safe staffing, and respond to emergencies and clinical escalations across multiple departments.

Every shift brings variety, high-impact decision-making, and the opportunity to lead with confidence.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide after-hours senior clinical leadership and hospital-wide oversight
  • Support nurses with escalation pathways, deteriorating patients, and complex clinical decisions
  • Manage staffing movements and patient flow across wards
  • Liaise with on-call managers, clinicians, and specialists
  • Ensure safety, quality, and high standards of care are upheld throughout the hospital

Why This Role Appeals to Senior Nurses

  • Highly rewarding leadership responsibility
  • After-hours autonomy without full-time management workload
  • Stable 0.8 FTE arrangement
  • Strong hourly rate $60.47–$62.47 under the NZNO collective
  • Opportunity to influence safety and care outcomes across an entire hospital site
  • Free parking
  • Flexible rostering
  • Generous Health insurance subsidy after 2 years of service and wellbeing support
  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
  • Christmas and New Year close down
  • Staff discounts on Pharmacy & Hospital fees
  • Discounts on gym memberships, childcare, and at a large number of retail outlets as part of their Boost programme

What You'll Need

Senior Critical Care Experience

Experience in ICU, HDU, CCU, ED, PACU, or other acute specialities within a New Zealand or Australian hospital is essential.

Confident Clinical Leadership

Ability to lead, mentor, support decision-making, and manage complex situations calmly.

Excellent Clinical Judgement

Strong assessment skills, escalation confidence, and the ability to remain steady under pressure.
