After a period of expansion, transition and growth, we are searching for experienced Qualified Anaesthetic Technicians/ODP's/RNAA's to come and join our team at Waitaha to work alongside us helping to deliver high-quality healthcare services to our valued tangata whaiora. With permanent full-time, part-time and casual roles available, we may just have what you are looking for.
They say variety is the spice of life – At Health New Zealand, Waitaha, we work across multiple sites (Christchurch Campus - Public, Women's, Waipapa and Burwood Hospital) which means no two days are the same. From obstetrics to trauma to ECT to paediatrics, and everything in between; we are an acute and elective centre that offers it all. Christchurch Campus is situated in the city next to our beautiful Hagley Park; in spring you can walk under the blossoms. If your shift is at Burwood Hospital, you'll be able to head down to New Brighton Beach for an after-work swim or cruise around Bottle Lake Forest.
As an accredited training hospital, we recognise the importance of investing in our staff and offer a multitude of opportunities for both the professional development of our qualified team and for our future workforce. We support the new perioperative practice degree and the registered nurse anaesthetic assistant (RNAA) training programmes; whether you like to teach or to learn, it is all on offer.
But what really makes a good day at work, besides variety, challenge and top-quality facilities/equipment?... It's the people! We are a varied team, made up of Registered Anaesthetic Technicians, ODP's, RNAA's and locum/agency staff, from a huge range of backgrounds. We are pretty proud of our evolution as a team and therefore big on our shared values (being professionalism, caring, collaboration and resilience) it is important to us that we continue to build our team with people who think these are just as important as we do.
So… if you want to join a team of highly skilled, innovative and caring people and move forward with us on our journey, what are you waiting for? Apply online today. We look forward to welcoming you on board!
