You are a Registered Nurse with;

• Current Annual Practising Certificate (APC)
• Authorised Vaccinator – Whole of Life
• Current CPR certification
• Experience in community health or outreach settings (preferred)
• A passion for working alongside Māori and Pacific whānau
• A current driver’s licence and willingness to travel across the Wairarapa region

Why Whaiora?

At Whaiora, we are dedicated to supporting whānau to achieve their health and wellbeing aspirations. You’ll be joining a supportive, values-based organisation committed to making a real difference in our community.

If you’re looking for meaningful mahi that supports tamariki and whānau to thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
