Our kaimahi (employees) are passionate people, committed to improving health and social outcomes for communities across Aotearoa, especially for those experiencing inequity. We are focused on building a workforce that reflects the communities we serve and brings a deep understanding of local needs, cultures and experiences. At Whakarongorau Aotearoa (Whakarongorau), our commitment to mana taurite begins with understanding ourselves - how we think, behave and show up each day as health professionals serving the people of Aotearoa.
Whakarongorau is a social enterprise and virtual health and social services organisation, connecting people with care when they need it. We provide consistent, clinically supported access to health and social support, particularly when in-person services are not available or when location, time of day, cost or cultural needs create barriers. Our role is to make care easier to access, more connected and responsive for people across Aotearoa.
We are seeking a Clinical Nurse Lead to join our Cervical Screening team on a 6-month fixed-term full time contract, providing clinical leadership and expert advice that helps ensure safe, accurate, and timely cervical screening services across Aotearoa. Working closely with our Register Central Team, screening providers, laboratories, and other key stakeholders, you'll play an important role in supporting participants through the cervical screening pathway while helping improve health outcomes and equity for Māori, Pacific peoples, and other under-screened populations.
You're an experienced Registered Nurse with strong clinical judgement, a collaborative approach, and a passion for improving health outcomes. You bring confidence in providing clinical guidance and influencing practice, along with a genuine commitment to culturally safe care, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and achieving equitable outcomes for all communities across Aotearoa.
If you're excited about this role and think you have what it takes, but your experience doesn't align 100%, we still want to hear from you and would encourage you to apply.
