Advance clinical nursing skills in primary care under mentorship from Lead GP Supervisor

New Graduate Registered Nurse

Are you a motivated and conscientious new graduate nurse looking to fast-track your clinical development in primary care? 1 Health is seeking a dedicated New Graduate Registered Nurse to join our team. Unlike traditional new graduate pathways, this position offers a unique model of direct mentorship: you will work closely alongside a Lead GP Supervisor in a close-knit, supportive team, gaining direct clinical insights and advancing your skills and knowledge at an accelerated pace.

Please note: This position is funded directly by 1 Health and is not part of or supported by the Health NZ NETP/CAP funding programs.

  • Onboarding & Structured Induction: Your first 2 months will include designated time working alongside our reception team while gradually onboarding into nursing tasks and duties. This foundation ensures a deep, practical understanding of practice workflows, patient communication, triage dynamics, and administration before stepping fully into autonomous clinical care.

What We Are Looking For

  • Reliability & Conscientiousness: High attention to detail and standard of care.
  • Team Player & Flexibility: Willingness to collaborate across both administrative and clinical roles within a small, tight-knit team, including flexibility for weekend rosters.
  • Self-Directed Learning: Proactive approach to continuing education and clinical skill development.
