Franklin Hospice is looking for an Associate Charge Nurse – Community & Palliative Care to join our small but mighty clinical team. If you’re passionate about walking alongside patients and their whānau, helping them live fully and comfortably at the end of life — and doing so in the place they call home — this role is a truly special opportunity.

About the Role

Based in the beautiful semi‑rural Franklin region, you’ll be part of our nurse‑led hospice service , delivering holistic, patient‑centred care. Your work will take you into homes, aged‑care facilities, and alongside a wide range of community healthcare providers — supporting people to live well, with dignity, wherever they choose to be.

A core focus of this role is building capability and confidence across the community, upskilling providers so they can deliver excellent palliative care in their own settings. You’ll be the calm, knowledgeable presence people turn to — the one who lifts others up and strengthens the entire system around the patient.

As an Associate Charge Nurse , you’ll also step into meaningful clinical leadership. This includes :

• Supporting colleagues in their practice
• Contributing to clinical oversight
• Assisting the Clinical Nurse Manager with day‑to‑day coordination
• Triaging referrals to hospital and identifying where community‑based alternatives may be more appropriate

You’ll have plenty of scope to use your initiative, lead by example, and help shape ongoing service development and improvements to our model of care. It’s a role where your clinical expertise, your relational strengths, and your heart for community truly shine.
