Hospice West Auckland’s stated vision is to provide compassionate, responsive palliative care services to people with life-threatening illness in the West Auckland region. They also firmly believe that the old way isn’t necessarily the best way. To quote their CEO, “With our future services, we are definitely not looking for the same old same old – we are after game change and innovation as ultimately it’s about how we deliver the highest quality services to our community and nothing less.”

 

Reporting to the Specialist Palliative Care Manager, your core values definitely include a desire to listen, lead and teach as you will be the pivotal member of a collegial, multi-disciplinary team who all offer care to terminally ill patients.

West Auckland is a unique natural environment renowned for its rugged coastline, impressive beaches and wild, native bush that draws trampers, walkers and outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world.
