Pregnancy & Parenting Education Facilitator - Rolleston

Royal New Zealand Plunket Trust – Christchurch, South Island

Supporting whānau to thrive starts while pēpi is still in thekōpū (in‑utero) – here at Whānau Āwhina Plunket we deliver Pregnancy and Parenting Education courses in an effort to make the journey into parenthood that little bit easier.

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and qualified person to support expectant mothers, fathers and whānau as a Pregnancy and Parenting Education Facilitator (Childbirth / Antenatal Educator) in Rolleston. With the flexibility to commit to as many courses as you can manage, this is a great opportunity to share your passion with whānau, while working around your own needs – be it whānau or other mahi.

You will deliver Pregnancy and Parenting Education (also known as antenatal) courses to expectant parents and their whānau, providing education and support on healthy pregnancy, labour and childbirth, breastfeeding, immunisations and the early parenting stages.

Delivered either in an intensive two‑day weekend session or across six weekly evening 2‑hour sessions, we enable whānau to feel confident, informed and empowered as they head into the final weeks of their pregnancy while simultaneously supporting the ability to form connections with other parents in the same stage of life.

Delivering this information in a fun, engaging manner can be the difference in starting the parenting journey on a positive note. You’ll create a space where participants feel safe to ask questions and build relationships.

We are seeking people with :

• A Childbirth Educator qualification or background as a Midwife or Registered Nurse.
• Experience in adult teaching and / or facilitation.
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to effectively coordinate and plan education sessions to meet the needs of expectant parents and whānau, ensuring delivery of evidence‑based information.
• Holds a current full NZ Driver’s licence.

We expect and encourage all Plunket people to live our values : kiāmāia – to be courageous, kia māhaki – to be humble, kiamanaaki – to care and kiatūhono – to stand in relationship.

If you’re seeking to work for an organisation that values improving society, join us at Whānau Āwhina Plunket. In line with our values, we believe in caring for our people, supporting your wellbeing and ongoing professional growth, we offer :
