Caregiver
Visa sponsorship
Healthcare · Blenheim, New Zealand · Full-Time · $23.95 - $28.25/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Qualified to Level 4 or above in care? That is the level that matters for visa support on this Caregiver post at a rest home in Blenheim, New Zealand. The alternative is a Registered Nursing degree. A Level 4 qualification must be directly relevant to caregiving and come with an International Qualification Assessment (IQA).
The home is run by an aged and dementia care provider known for innovative approaches to care, and the provider is an Immigration New Zealand Accredited Employer, so it can sponsor a carer who meets those terms on the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV).
It is a permanent, full-time post of at least 30 hours a week, on any shift of the rota, covering personal care, care planning, dementia therapy plans, notes and support for the registered nurses. Hourly rates go by level, at $23.95 for Level 1, $24.06 for Level 2, $26.16 for Level 3 and $28.25 for Level 4 or higher.
If you trained in the UK, write your qualification on your CV exactly as it appears on the certificate, with its level, and mention whether your IQA is done. Get your carer CV in order with Build AI CV.
