Some nursing roles are about treating illness. This one is about protecting people's right to live the life they choose.

Our client supports adults with complex physical disabilities to live lives full of choice, purpose and opportunity. They don't define people by their diagnosis. They believe disabled people should have the same rights, aspirations and control over their lives as everyone else.

They're looking for a Registered Nurse who shares that philosophy.

Yes, you'll use your clinical expertise every day. But more importantly, you'll be an advocate, a problem solver, a coordinator and someone who genuinely believes that disability isn't something to be fixed - it's part of a person's identity and your role is to support them to live life on their own terms.
If that resonates with you, we'd love to talk.

About the Role Based in Taradale, you'll support 22 people who live across five homes. Every person is different. Some have complex physical disabilities, others have communication, sensory or cognitive impairments. Every individual has their own goals, preferences and way of communicating.

You'll work alongside experienced support workers, families, GPs, hospital teams and specialists to ensure each person receives the healthcare and support they need while maintaining as much independence, choice and control as possible. Your responsibilities include:
  • Clinical assessment and ongoing nursing oversight
  • Developing individualised health and risk plans
  • Coordinating multidisciplinary care
  • Coaching and supporting medication competent support workers
  • Advocating with health services to ensure people receive equitable care
  • Building trusted relationships with whānau and external providers
  • Participating in family and MDT meetings
  • Monday-Friday role with shared on-call (approximately one week in four)
Who We're Looking For We're open to nurses from a range of backgrounds.
Whether you've worked in hospital, community, aged care or disability, what matters most is your worldview.
We're looking for someone who believes:
  • Disabled people have the right to make decisions about their own lives.
  • Independence looks different for every person.
  • Good nursing means listening before leading.
  • Advocacy is just as important as clinical knowledge.
  • Relationships build better outcomes than routines.
You'll also bring:
  • NZ Registered Nurse registration and current APC
  • Sound clinical judgement
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Confidence working autonomously while collaborating with others
  • A genuine curiosity to understand each person's unique way of communicating and engaging with the world
Previous disability experience is welcome, but it isn't essential. If your values align and you're willing to learn, you'll be well supported by an experienced clinical team.

About the Organisation

Their work is guided by four core values:
Manaakitanga - Respect and care for others
Kotahitanga - Working together
Whanaungatanga - Meaningful relationships
Mana Motuhake - Self-determination and independence

These aren't words on a wall. They shape every decision the organisation makes.

What You'll Receive
  • $40-$47 per hour
  • On-call allowance plus call-out payments
  • Monday-Friday hours (8.30am-5.00pm with flexibility considered)
  • Strong clinical mentoring and support
  • A highly collaborative multidisciplinary team
  • The opportunity to build long-term relationships and genuinely change lives
If you've ever believed nursing is about empowering people rather than directing them, this could be exactly the role you've been looking for.
