College Health Centre Nurse | Term Time Role

About Us
Saint Kentigern College is a leading independent school for Years 7 to 13, with a strong focus on student wellbeing and a values-based community. With approximately 2,250 students, the College has a busy and well-supported Health Centre at the heart of campus life.
  
The Opportunity
This role offers a different pace and purpose from traditional clinical settings, combining hands-on nursing with preventative, relationship-based care in a school environment.

Working alongside the Nurse in Charge, you will be part of a multidisciplinary pastoral team supporting the health and wellbeing of students across the College.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Providing first aid and primary care to students and staff
• Supporting students with ongoing or chronic health needs
• Coordinating referrals and liaising with caregivers and external providers
• Maintaining accurate health records and supporting administrative processes
• Assisting with the smooth operation of a busy Health Centre

This is a term time only position, working 10.00am to 4.00pm, Monday to Friday (30 hours per week), with an annualised salary paid evenly across the year.

We are open to job share arrangements and welcome applications from candidates seeking part-week schedules.

The role is expected to commence at the start of Term 3, with the opportunity for a one-week handover in the final week of Term 2. 

Why this role?
For nurses looking for balance or a move away from shift-based environments, this position offers:

• Predictable weekday hours (10.00am – 4.00pm)
• School holidays off, with annualised pay
• The opportunity to build ongoing relationships with students
• A varied caseload within a supportive team

About You
You will bring sound clinical judgement, a calm and practical approach, and the ability to build rapport with young people.

We are looking for:

• A Registered Nurse with a current New Zealand practising certificate
• Experience in youth health, school nursing, or emergency/acute care (beneficial)
• Strong assessment and communication skills
• The ability to work collaboratively within a pastoral care setting
• A current First Aid certificate (or willingness to obtain)

What We Offer

• Subsidised Southern Cross healthcare
• Two additional Saint Kentigern days each year
• Free on-site parking
• 4% KiwiSaver contribution
• Staff wellbeing programme
