Registered Nurse
Visa sponsorship
Healthcare · Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $25/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Nursing older people well takes patience, sharp clinical eyes and time to listen. A premium residential aged care home in Auckland is hiring a full-time Registered Nurse who wants to work somewhere that puts each resident's dignity and individual care first.
A typical shift means checking on residents, updating their plans, writing up notes properly and being the clinical go-to person for the care assistants. Overseas nurses go through New Zealand's registration steps with the Nursing Council, and candidates are assessed on their nursing background, qualifications, English and readiness for those requirements. Eligible overseas applicants may be considered for Accredited Work Visa sponsorship.
Because registration comes first, open your CV with your nursing licence history, your post-graduate clinical years and your IELTS or OET scores. Lay out your aged care nursing registration details in Build AI CV so everything reads clearly.
