- Guiding and directing caregivers on shift
- Developing strong, trusting connections with residents and their families
What you need
- Current New Zealand nursing registration and an active practising certificate
- Interest in working with older adults and an understanding of how clinical services operate in a retirement village
- Confidence to lead, stay composed in pressured situations, and bounce back emotionally
- Strong communication skills and the ability to connect with a wide range of people
