We know people recover more quickly at home so the main focus of AWHI is to work with people in their own home to help them regain or maintain their independence after a hospital admission.

Our team consists of Nurses, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers, Speech Language Therapists and other Allied Health Assistants, you would have the opportunity to work with all of these team members.

You - ll need to be able to effectively interpret and deliver on the work requested by our health professionals and be committed to on-going learning, either holding or being prepared to enrol for the New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 3) Health Assistance Strand. Experience working for the public health system would be preferred, as would familiarity with equipment management including credentialing with Enable NZ in Service Accreditation as this will support our HCPs to optimise their delegation.
We are committed to improving better health outcomes for Māori and Pacific whānau. As we continue to develop the way we work with Maori and Pacific whanau, we would value more applicants, with the right skills, from these communities.
The team is continuing to evolve and our roles are too. This position is likely to become rostered and rotating involving shifts working through to 8pm and weekend work as our team is now operating across 7 days. If this role sounds like you, we - d would love to hear from you!
