Korero mo te turanga – About the role
This is a fixed-term role covering a secondment, and the perfect opportunity for someone who has wondered about what being a Community Mental Health Nurse entails and wants to give it a try. The Community Mental Health Nurse will have a caseload of clients which they manage autonomously but with the support of the MDT. You will be responsible for the co-ordination of their care, monitoring of mental state and helping them with their recovery journey alongside the whanau.
You will be knowledgeable about the MHA and develop a relationship with MGO's in the Kapiti area.
