Enrolled Nurse - Auckland

Want to help save lives and make a positive difference to our nation's well-being? Revitalise your Nursing passion and feel a sense of pride being an essential aspect of providing a life‑saving service to New Zealanders by collecting, processing and distributing blood and blood products.

About the role

We have an Enrolled Nurse position available for applicants who are ideally residing in Central, West, or North Auckland.

We have an exciting opportunity working in a unique part of the health sector, where although you are not working as part of a Te Whatu Ora (DHB's), you are still caring for people and making a huge difference to patient outcomes.

There is a lot more to being a nurse at NZBS other than just taking blood. Dealing with primarily well people gives a different perspective to a working day. The hours will generally be rostered duties Monday to Saturday, with some varying lengths of days so flexibility is required. Occasional statutory holiday duties may also be required.

Whether you are interested in developing your clinical skills and experience in therapeutic procedures such as collection of stem cells and plasma exchange procedures; your leadership skills coordinating our collects; or your coaching and training and development skills, inspiring our staff to be the best they can be, NZBS has fantastic opportunities for everyone.

To be successful in this role you'll be a great communicator with good written and verbal skills, vital for reassuring the donor every step of the way.

We welcome enquiries from ENs who will utilise their health assessment, critical thinking and reflective practice skills to contribute to all aspects of the collection of blood products and donor health education at our mobile and donor room collects. No phlebotomy experience needed! Let us train you!

A comprehensive induction programme, training and PDRP available.

Salary offered for Enrolled Nurses starting at $69,934 to $83,349 depending on skills, registration, and experience.

If this role sounds like you and you are self‑motivated, get the best out of people and able to communicate on all levels, then we would like to hear from you.
