We take pride in the services we provide and our aim is to improve, promote and protect the health of our population. Our customers – patients, staff and communities - are at the heart of everything we do.

In order to continue meeting the needs of our community, we are working towards a system that better identifies mismatches between staffing levels and patient needs and facilitates solutions to mitigate the risks associated. Known formally as Care Capacity Demand Management, we are on the lookout for a Senior Registered Nurse to spearhead this in a Programme Manager role.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make your mark on health services across the district, through assuring patient safety and satisfaction, supporting staff health and well-being and ultimately maximising organisational efficiency.

With the overarching goal to improve patient outcomes through the careful matching of staff to patients, there is certainly ample opportunity to make a difference for staff and patients alike.

Objectives include but are not limited to:

• Coordinating and implementing best practice tools and guidelines
• Developing and sustaining constructive relationships that enhance your connections and ability to influence, by modelling a partnership approach
• Leading and collaborating on programme development, communication and implementation, and feedback loops to ensure ongoing engagement across the board

About You

Working at a high level with regard to health informatics, we anticipate you’ll be advanced/expert user, allowing you to collate reports, analyse outcomes and work alongside senior staff to re-engineer rosters as required, however, this role is more than just numbers and data.  It’s as much about your ability to connect, engage and influence multiple stakeholders, from the Wards to Governance, as it’s through others that you will achieve positive outcomes.  It goes without saying that you will naturally embody the Southern DHB values of Kind, Open Positive and a sense of Community in all that you do.
