Job description

Looking for a nursing role where you can practice to your full scope while making a genuine difference every day?

Oceania is looking for compassionate and experienced Registered Nurses to join our teams across Christchurch.

Rather than applying for a single vacancy, you’ll be considered for multiple current and upcoming opportunities across our villages in the region. Whether you’re looking for full-time, part-time or casual work, we’d love to hear from you.

As a Registered Nurse with Oceania, you’ll work within a nurse-led service where your clinical expertise, professional judgement, and leadership play an important role in delivering high-quality care and enriching the lives of our residents.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Registered Nurse, you’ll lead and coordinate resident care while supporting your wider clinical team to deliver safe, person-centred outcomes. Every day is different, but you can expect to:

• Coordinate the daily clinical care needs of residents.
• Complete comprehensive nursing assessments and implement care plans.
• Make sound clinical decisions and respond confidently to changing resident needs.
• Build meaningful relationships with residents, their families/whānau, and allied health professionals.
• Lead, coach and support Healthcare Assistants and the wider care team.
• Maintain accurate clinical documentation and contribute to continuous quality improvement.
• Promote a safe, respectful, and caring environment where residents can thrive.

What You’ll Bring

• A current New Zealand Annual Practising Certificate (APC).
• Registration with the Nursing Council of New Zealand.
• Previous nursing experience, ideally within aged care or a similar clinical environment.
• Experience using electronic clinical documentation systems.
• Excellent clinical assessment and decision-making skills.
• Strong communication and leadership abilities.
• A collaborative approach and genuine passion for caring for older people.
• Flexibility to work a variety of rostered shifts, including weekends and nights where required.

InterRAI experience is desirable but not essential.

When you join Oceania, you’ll enjoy:

• Competitive hourly rates
• Ongoing professional development and career progression opportunities.
• A supportive nurse-led clinical environment where you can practice to your full scope.
• Employee wellbeing support.
• The opportunity to make a meaningful difference every day.
