Programme Support - Child Health

Te whiwhinga mahi: The opportunity

We have an exciting opportunity for a programme support – child health to join our Waikato team, supporting the delivery of child health programmes across the region with a primary focus on immunisation outreach and before school check (B4SC) services.

Working alongside immunisation outreach nurses, you will engage directly with tamariki and whānau in community settings, building trusted relationships and supporting access to services that improve health outcomes. Through a whānau-centred and culturally responsive approach, you will help remove barriers to care, provide practical support, and enable whānau to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing.

You will also provide programme support to ensure the effective day-to-day operation of child health services — maintaining accurate records, supporting communication and follow-up activities, coordinating service administration, and contributing to the efficient delivery of child health programmes.

Working collaboratively with clinical, operational and community partners, you will help improve engagement with services and support equitable health outcomes for tamariki and whānau.

This is a fixed term role until 30 June 2027, working 32 hours per week.
