Te whiwhinga mahi: The opportunity

Help improve immunisation access and health outcomes for tamariki and whānau across Waikato.

We are looking for a passionate child immunisation improvement nurse to join our Waikato team in a 12-month fixed-term role, working 32 hours per week.

In this relationship-focused role, you will work alongside general practices, whānau and community partners to help ensure tamariki receive timely immunisations and trusted information. You will join a supportive, equity-focused team with a particular commitment to improving outcomes for Māori and Pasifika children and other priority groups.

- Building trusted relationships with general practices, community partners and whānau.
- Helping practices strengthen their immunisation systems and processes.
- Mentoring, facilitating and sharing practical knowledge.
- Supporting hauora and community events.
- Leading small improvement activities that make immunisation services easier to access.

This could be a great fit if you enjoy working with people, solving practical problems and turning good ideas into better experiences for tamariki and whānau.

He kōrero mōu: About you

- At least two years' post-registration nursing experience.
