·        Developing and reviewing individualised care plans.

·        Supporting healthcare assistants and working closely with the wider multidisciplinary team.

·        Contributing to a positive, respectful and supportive team culture.

What We're Looking For

·        Bachelor of Nursing degree or equivalent recognised qualification.

·        Current New Zealand Annual Practising Certificate (APC).

·        Registration with the Nursing Council of New Zealand.

·        NZ citizenship and the legal right to work in New Zealand.

·        Previous aged care experience would be advantageous, although nurses with transferable clinical experience are encouraged to apply.

·        Strong communication skills, sound clinical judgement and a genuine passion for caring for older people.

·        Flexibility to work rostered shifts, including mornings, afternoons and nights across weekdays, weekends and public holidays.

Please note: Our client is unable to offer visa sponsorship for this position.

What's On Offer?

·        Permanent, full-time employment with an established and respected aged care provider.

·        Night shift and weekend allowances in addition to your base salary.

·        A supportive and collaborative team where people genuinely look out for one another.

·        The opportunity to work for a provider known for its strong staff retention.

·        A varied nursing role where your experience, judgement and contribution are valued.

·        The chance to enjoy life in Mid Canterbury, with Ashburton offering a welcoming community, affordable lifestyle and easy access to Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region.
