We're looking for a compassionate and motivated Registered Nurse to join our dedicated Outreach Immunisation team.

  • Build trusting relationships with whānau, providing education and encouragement in a culturally safe and supportive way
  • Visit 3–4 families per day alongside another experienced immunisation nurse, administering vaccines and ensuring cold chain standards are maintained
  • Manage any adverse events and maintain accurate documentation in national databases
  • Contribute to service reporting and continuous improvement
  • This is a balanced role — part clinic-based contacting families and updating records and part community-based visiting whānau in their homes

Hours of work: 0.4FTE Wednesday & Thursday
