Rostering Coordinator

Rostering Coordinator

As a Rostering Coordinator, you will be part of our centralised rostering service based at Waikato Hospital. You would be joining a friendly and supportive team, who play a critical role in supporting our operations across the Waikato District.

Working with clinical managers, you will create rosters for frontline nursing and midwifery clinical services. You will provide expertise across other services, developing effective rostering tools and practices. Although the process is well established, each roster cycle presents unique logistical challenges that require critical thinking and problem solving to produce balanced, high-quality rosters.

Key responsibilities include developing staff rosters for the frontline nursing and midwifery clinical services, maintaining information for the portfolio of services for which each rostering coordinator is responsible, creating a new roster every four weeks for each service, working collaboratively to develop professional relationships with senior clinical managers to support the rostering process and roster creation, providing expert advice and guidance to the organisation on rostering practices and the effective use of rostering tools and techniques, and demonstrating a strong commitment to continuous improvement, both individually and as a team, to enhance our effectiveness and strengthen the quality of our rosters, tools, and processes.

We are looking for a motivated self-starter who takes pride in providing high quality service and enjoys the challenge of managing the complexities of staff rostering. Ideally you will have previous experience in workforce planning/rostering within a complex environment, and have an understanding of employment conditions in relation to healthy rostering practices.

To be considered for this role, you will also need to be able to demonstrate the following skills, experience and attributes: a degree in administration/management/health sciences or more than 5 years experience in an administration based role, strong problem solving, critical thinking and analytical skills, numerical literacy with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail, a mature and professional manner, reflecting excellent interpersonal and communication skills, a high level of computer literacy, and previous experience in learning and using systems and applications, and a current New Zealand Driver's license.
