About the Role

This is a 0.8 FTE position (4 days per week), with the potential for an additional day by mutual agreement.

What You'll Bring

• Registered Nurse qualification with current Nursing Council registration and APC.
• Current phlebotomy competency and ability to undertake specimen collection confidently.
• Full New Zealand Driver Licence with a clean driving record.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Confidence facilitating training and engaging groups of people.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage a busy schedule.
• Comfortable using digital systems and technology.
• Flexibility to travel and work occasional early mornings, late finishes and overnight stays.

Why Join LifeCare?

• Overtime paid at time and a half after 80 hours per fortnight.
• Company vehicle provided for business use.
• Comprehensive induction, training and ongoing professional development.
