• Building strong, trusting relationships with patients and their whānau.
• Delivering equitable, culturally safe and patient-centred primary care.

• Flexible working hours to support a healthy work-life balance.
• Salary negotiable, reflecting your skills and experience.
• Strong peer support within a collaborative clinical team.
• Regular clinical review and opportunities for professional discussion.
• Professional development opportunities to support your ongoing growth.
• Study leave and CME support.
• Pro rata contribution towards registration and professional indemnity insurance costs.
• A well-resourced clinic to support high-quality clinical practice.
• A great team culture where collaboration, respect and patient wellbeing are valued.

About you

We are looking for someone who is confident in their clinical decision-making, enjoys autonomy and is passionate about primary care.

You will bring:

• Current registration as a Nurse Practitioner with the Nursing Council of New Zealand.
• A strong interest in primary care and a commitment to building lasting relationships with patients and their whānau.
• The ability and confidence to work independently, exercising sound clinical judgement within your scope of practice.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a compassionate and approachable manner.
• A commitment to culturally safe, whānau-centred care and equitable health outcomes.
• A collaborative approach and a willingness to contribute positively to our supportive team environment.

If you are looking for a role where you can practise autonomously, make a genuine difference in the lives of a diverse patient population, and be supported by a friendly and collaborative team, we would love to hear from you.

Hours are fully flexible, part time up to full time. If part time, we can be flexible as to your schedule. Salary is open to negotiation.
