Mō mātou - About Us
Our name, Enliven, is a celebration of our beginnings, our heritage and the values we share. Our homes and villages are places where older people have companionship, choice, variety, fun, meaningful activity and a sense of purpose. Being part of our team means the opportunity to share in our values-based approach and be part of a not-for-profit service specialising in the support of our elders.
Mō to tūranga - About the Role
You will work as part of an Enliven team in a peer-supported environment, where everyone wants to deliver great quality care to our residents and ensure they have a positive experience whilst living in our home.
We are looking for someone who is able to work flexibly across a rotating roster that includes nightshifts and alternate weekends, we can guarantee 7 shifts a fortnight (56 hours) with options to pick up extra shifts at times.
We provide weekend and nightshift allowances and overtime rates so you will be recognized and compensated for the flexibility you can bring with you as we appreciate every team member that can support Kowhainui Home to be a great place to live and work.
Mō koe - About You
As well as a passion for the wellbeing of older people, you will be enthusiastic but patient and well organised with great interpersonal skills and a sense of humour. You will share our values of empathy, compassion, and respect, and operate with a person-centred approach and high care standards.
Whether you are spending time with staff or residents, it's all about the way we communicate with each other and how we get the job done that counts towards making the difference to everyone's day.
Also you will have:

- At least 1 year full time equivalent RN experience in provision of care to older adults.
