Senior Wellness Partner

Mō te tūranga | About the opportunity

Our Senior Wellness Partners are at the heart of enriching the lives of our residents, doing everything with kindness and purpose. Each day you will work in partnership with residents to support their personal care needs and encourage resident-led decision making in their eating, resting, movement, communication, and activities.

As a shift leader, the Senior Wellness Partner is responsible for providing Wellness Partner shift support by planning and coordinating activities of daily living, ensuring care is delivered efficiently and in line with the Attitude of Living Well model.

In this role, you will act as a key support for Registered Nurses, leading the shift team by offering guidance and direction to other Wellness Partners. You will serve as the first point of contact for questions from Wellness Partners during your shift, providing initial triage and support. When no Registered Nurse is rostered, you will take the lead in planning the shift, ensuring the team is organised to effectively meet the needs of all residents.
