Nurse Practitioner Lead - NPTSS
Part Time
Job description
About Us
Mahitahi Hauora PHE works collaboratively with primary healthcare providers, Māori health providers, community, and key partners, to support our member general practices in achieving better health outcomes for our Tai Tokerau population. As a primary healthcare organisation underpinned by Ti Tiriti o Waitangi, our kaupapa is to enable whānau and communities to achieve self-determined wellbeing and equitable access to health services. Our vision is healthy whānau, thriving Northland.
We are part of a newly established consortium of six Primary Health Organisations (PHOs) working together to deliver the Nurse Practitioner Training Support Scheme (NPTSS). This nationally coordinated, regionally responsive Scheme is designed to support nurses during the final year of their Nurse Practitioner (NP) training and the first 6 months following registration. Our six PHOs are recognised as strategic influencers within the health system. Collectively, we support more than 450 general practices across key regions providing reach, local insight and sector expertise. We will collaborate with other parts of the health sector nationally and regionally who may employ NP trainees as part of this programme.
As a collective, we are committed to ensuring the NPTSS is scalable, equitable, and responsive to the diverse needs of NP trainees, including those working in urban, rural and isolated communities across Aotearoa.
Opportunity
The Nurse Practitioner Lead plays a pivotal role in guiding and supporting the next generation of Nurse Practitioners through the NPTSS programme. Providing clinical leadership, mentorship, and operational oversight, you'll ensure each trainee and practice placement is well matched, well supported, and set up for success.
You will be the key bridge between trainees, employers, the academic providers, and the consortium—providing clinical support, expertise, leadership, and problem-solving. This includes overseeing trainee progress to ensure they meet the required standard of clinical practice to become an NP, providing access to supervision and mentoring, and ensuring quality clinical standards are maintained throughout. This support and mentoring will continue for the newly qualified NP for 6 months upon registration to help embed the role successfully into the area of practice.
Working closely with the team, you'll help ensure the programme remains culturally safe, equitable, and impactful for all participants. The role has a flexible FTE to suit the right candidate. This is an opportunity to shape the future of advanced nursing practice while championing equitable health outcomes for Māori, Pacific, and priority populations across Aotearoa.
Key Skills
At Mahitahi Hauora we offer a structured yet relaxed environment that balances autonomy with strong team connection and support. We’re united by a shared commitment to improving Tai Tokerau’s healthcare system – ensuring our population gains greater access to services, resources, and health education. Our staff enjoy onsite parking, retail discounts, competitive remuneration, birthdays off, flexible working conditions, and a positive, collaborative workplace where every contribution helps make a difference.
How to Apply
We offer exceptional remuneration and benefits, as well as a fantastic team, and wider company environment to work in. If you think this sounds like you, please apply to submit your CV and application using the 'Apply Now' button or email [email protected] if you require additional information, we look forward to hearing from you.
Please note: Our offices will close from Friday, 19 December, and reopen on 7 January 2026.
Only individuals with working rights in New Zealand will be considered for the selection process; you will need to be a Citizen or Resident.
Please, no agency enquiries!
