We are excited to announce a unique opportunity for a Whānau Ora Haumanu Community Nurse at Te Kōhao Health. In this role, you will play a pivotal part in our mission to enhance the well-being of our community. The successful candidate will be responsible and accountable for fulfilling a range of vital tasks, ensuring that our services are of the highest quality.

One of the core responsibilities of this role is to maintain the accuracy and relevance of our Te Kōhao database, a critical tool in our commitment to delivering the best care possible. By keeping this database up-to-date, you will contribute to our organization's efficiency and the quality of service we provide.

An integral aspect of this position is the integration of social and health services, which is essential for better supporting Whānau in their journey towards a more fulfilling life, improved outcomes, and increased independence. We also emphasize the integration of health promotion strategies, taking into account the broader social factors that influence the well-being of Whānau and high-needs populations.

A significant focus of the Whānau Ora Haumanu Community Nurse is engaging Whānau within a supportive cultural context. This entails assisting Whānau in developing the capacity to maintain healthy lifestyles and navigate the complex changes necessary for managing chronic conditions.

To achieve this, the use of comprehensive Whānau Ora planning tools and needs assessments is crucial. These tools enable Whānau and their members to gain a deeper understanding of their conditions, establish goals, devise plans, and take action to lead fulfilling lives and function effectively, even in the face of health challenges.

Creating a strong partnership between Whānau and our Whānau Ora team is another key aspect of this role. This partnership ensures continued engagement, maintains continuity of care, and simplifies the navigation of services, especially within the complexity of health and social service needs.

The level of service provided is tailored to the specific needs, capacity, and complexity of each Whānau. This approach allows for effective responses to individual circumstances and addresses the root causes of engagement issues, ensuring continuity and adherence to treatment.

If you are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of Whānau and the community and possess the skills and dedication necessary for this unique role, we invite you to consider joining our team at Te Kōhao Health. Together, we can continue to improve the health and well-being of our community.
