Job description

When you join Presbyterian Support Central (PSC), you’re becoming part of something truly special, a not-for-profit organisation that’s been helping people for more than 115 years. Everything we do is about supporting people at the most vulnerable times of their lives, whether that’s an older person needing care and connection, or a family working through tough times.

PSC has two well-known service brands that lie at the heart of our mahi:

• Enliven: our positive ageing services that create age-friendly communities where older people have companionship, choice, fun, and purpose.
• Family Works: our social services supporting children and whānau through counselling, social work, life-skills and parenting programmes and safety services.

Our Enliven Bureau team plays a vital role in ensuring our homes and services are safely staffed, helping deliver consistent, high-quality care to older people across the region. Working in the Bureau offers variety, flexibility, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference every day. When you join the Bureau, you become part of a caring and supportive team dedicated to helping older people live well.

Mō to tūranga - About the Role

Working as part of our Enliven residential team in a peer-supported environment, you will be part of a team where everyone wants to deliver great quality aged care for our Elders. They may be living with us in our rest home, hospital or dementia wing, but no matter what level of care we provide we want to support independence and enable the ability to access and enjoy the many day-to-day activities at the Home and the things they love to do.

We are looking for a Registered Nurse to join our Bureau Team to work in our Wellington Homes across Karori, Tawa, Lower Hutt and Johnsonville. Hours of work include AM, PM and Night shifts and weekend work.

As well as a passion for the wellbeing of our elders, you will be enthusiastic, patient and well organised with great interpersonal skills. You will share our values of empathy, compassion, and respect, and operate with a person-centred approach and high-quality standards.

We believe it's all about the way we communicate with each other and how we get the job done that counts towards making the difference to everyone's day. So being a great team player and working collaboratively is important.

Also you will have:

• Current Annual Practicing Certificate as a Registered Nurse.
• At least 2 years full-time experience as a RN
• Previous experience in provision of care to elders or working with complex general health conditions
• Experience working with a team of Healthcare Assistants to deliver daily cares
• Availability to work across a flexible shift pattern of AM, PM and Night shifts.
• Used electronic record keeping systems and have a good level of computer literacy
• Interrai would be an advantage - but we can train you!

Enliven offers a working environment where upskilling and training are highly valued. You will also enjoy:

• A progressive pay scale that reflects your skills and experience, pay rates range between $34.07 and $50.28 per hour
• In addition you will have access to PDRP programmes, which recognise your commitment to your personal development
• We are a learning organisation, so you will be provided with full training and on-going support in your role
• Paid professional study days and support to maintain your Annual Practicing Certificate
• Enliven offers the opportunity to progress your career in a variety of directions and to contribute to the way in which we operate every day
• We are committed to maintaining our own health and well-being through activities focused on supporting ourselves at work
• We offer access to discounted healthcare cover and an employee assistance programme
