About the role

Primarily based in Southland Hospital, this autonomous position also affords the opportunity to visit and care for patients at home in the community around the Southland Region, offering you the chance to expand your range of patient centred skills. As such, the role is a multi-faceted position where no two days are ever the same, presenting ample opportunities for professional development for those who are motivated.

This role works in close collaboration with the small team of Respiratory Clinical Nurse Specialist's and Registered Nurses who work hard to support one another in an effort to provide quality, patient centred care no matter the location. Joining us is an excellent opportunity for a nurse wanting more autonomy and further opportunities in management of long-term conditions nursing with the full support of a tight knit team.

Hours of work will be rostered Monday through to Friday - 16 hours per week.

This position really focuses on bridging the gap between primary and secondary care so if you value teamwork and are able to effectively prioritise workloads you will feel right at home with us. Ideally you will be a Senior Registered Nurse with advanced assessment and exceptional communication skills; and a full, clean driver's licence is essential.
