West Coast DHB offers unique learning experiences for registered nurses across a whole spectrum of care. Nurses here are at the heart of our multidisciplinary teams – in fact they shine out amongst them.

We boast the fastest regional economy in New Zealand and it shows in our thriving communities. You can live an easy 10-minute commute from work and still live on the outskirts of town, park for free right outside the hospital; know your children can walk to school and back and in breaks appreciate the vistas our hospital has – from sea to Southern Alps. Given our size and location, life, we think you’ll find, is less pressurised.

We can cater to a diverse range of specialty nursing interests, whether you are looking for full-time, casual or perhaps even fixed-term contract positions – medical/CCU, surgical, theatre, emergency, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation, paediatrics, maternity, midwifery, district nursing, rural nurse specialists, practice nurses & mental health. We have aged care opportunities within the community too.
