Our Harbour Hospice culture is built upon trust, connection, care and professional interactions that are delivered with our values at the core. Our values are more than words. They are the foundation of every interaction we have with patients, family, whānau, our community and each other. We welcome applications from all backgrounds who share our values of aroha (compassionate), tautikanga (professional), and mō te katoa (inclusive).

The Day Programme Coordinator is an important part of our professional and expert multidisciplinary team who collaborate and take pride in patient-centred, holistic care. You will be encouraged to embrace opportunities for growth, reflect on what has worked well and what could be improved, and share your learnings. We will support and provide tools for your wellbeing and will encourage working hours that make room for life outside work.

You will also get:

• In-depth and tailored onboarding to suit your individual level of experience and expertise
• One hour per month of paid professional supervision
• Access to pool cars if working in the community and free onsite parking

Best of all, you’ll join an organisation where your work matters.

The Day Programme has been developed to support and empower patients to enhance their quality of life whilst living with a life-limiting condition. You will collaborate with the multi-disciplinary teams to identify patients’ needs, then coordinate and facilitate the day programme, in order to meet those needs. You will be expected to grow, adapt and enhance the programme to match the constantly changing requirements of the patients and communities we care for.

An experienced health professional, you’ll bring a good understanding of holistic care and how to use this in a palliative care setting to get the best outcomes for patients. You’ll have experience facilitating or leading groups and enjoy creating a sense of community, affinity, and support.

You will also have:

• Cultural awareness and sensitivity in dealing with people from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities

Harbour Hospice is one of the largest hospices in Aotearoa and has been caring for tūroro (patients) and their family and whānau for more than 40 years. Every day we care for close to 400 people across the North Shore, Hibiscus Coast and Warkworth/Wellsford regions, supporting them at home, in one of our two inpatient units, or in community programmes offered at each of our three sites. Our specialist services, given free of charge, include medical care, spiritual, cultural, psychological and social support, physiotherapy, occupational and complementary therapy, social activities and more. We are a progressive organisation that puts each patient, whānau and family, our community and our people, at the heart of everything.
