Te Whiwhinga mahi – The opportunity

As part of our PlunketLine leadership team and reporting to the PlunketLine Manager, you’ll be an effective leader of a team of Telehealth Nurses.

You will field clinical and operational escalations which will require problem solving, resilience and decision-making skills.

You’ll provide leadership and remove barriers so the team of Registered Nurses can consistently deliver quality service to the wh?nau we serve. You’ll guide each individual to reach their full potential through tailored coaching and feedback and build a high performing team through facilitating meaningful team hui where you communicate key messages, encourage healthy collaboration and celebrate successes.

Depending on the level of demand, you may also be required to take incoming calls from time to time.
