About the role:
Tiaho Mai is the acute adult mental health inpatient unit situated in the grounds of Middlemore Hospital at Health NZ Counties Manukau. We provide care for people from Otahuhu to Mercer, coast to coast, including Kaiaua and Port Waikato who are admitted into a hospital setting with mental health challenges during a crisis.
Our team is committed to multidisciplinary, trauma-informed, culturally responsive and evidence-based care. We support each other, learn from each other, and share a genuine dedication to providing the best outcomes for whaiora and their whaanau.
Joining Tiaho Mai means becoming part of a team where your professional growth matters. You will work alongside colleagues who value collaboration, open communication, and a recovery-focused approach. Your ideas, experience, and judgement will be respected and encouraged.
We are now looking for a NZ Registered Mental Health Nurse with a depth of experience and strong nursing skills.

Already we have made some significant changes in the way we work, which are having a positive impact on service user experience. Our focus is on developing strong multidisciplinary teams who work within an integrated model of care in conjunction with the community services and we believe that our nurses are at the heart of these teams.
This is a great opportunity to make a significant difference to the lives of people in the Counties Manukau area while developing your own personal and professional practice.
Salaries are based on the PSA Mental Health & Public Health Nursing Collective Agreement, Registered Nurse Scale.
