Registered Nurse – Fixed Term until 1-May-2026 | Full Time | 32 Hours Per Week

Step into a role where your aged care experience truly matters. We’re looking for a reliable, confident RN ready to take ownership of Afternoon and Night shifts supporting residents with calm, capable leadership at our Bupa Stokeswood Care Home in Lower Hutt, Wellington.

This fixed-term contract through to 01 May 2026 offers full-time stability while giving you the freedom to plan your next step beyond the term.

If you enjoy working independently, thrive in structured routines, and take pride in safe medication management, clear documentation, and steady clinical decision-making, you’ll feel right at home here. Your ability to support care staff, maintain resident safety, and keep the rhythm of the care home running smoothly during quieter hours will help you excel.

Bring your 1+ year of aged care experience, your clinical sharpness, and your commitment to consistent, high-quality care—this is a role where your presence will make a real impact every shift.
