About us
We deliver high quality, excellent palliative care for the Taupo/Turangi Community. Lake Taupo Hospice provides care and support for anyone living with a life-limiting condition. We care for families and friends as well, both before and after death.
We have a strong focus on employee wellbeing and flexibility. We provide regular training opportunities and a strong supportive team.
The majority of people receiving support are cared for in their own homes. Our goal is to help people make the most of their lives; to live every moment in whatever way is important to them.
This role offers the opportunity to work within a supportive multi-disciplinary team in a professional service that continues to develop and grow, and the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of patients and their families.
Lake Taupo Hospice values diversity and inclusion and is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to those of all backgrounds and identities.
