Te whiwhinga mahi: The opportunity 

We have an opportunity for a full-time Child Health Nurse – Mobile Immunisations in our Taranaki team.

Our Mobile (Outreach) Immunisation Service aims to improve immunisation coverage and ensure the families in the Taranaki region have access to services to empower them to make informed decisions regarding immunisation.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys engaging with people, building positive relationships, and reducing health inequity for our Māori and Pacific children.
