An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Nurse Practitioner to join our friendly and compassionate team at Whanganui Accident and Medical (WAM) – a leading urgent and primary care provider committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care to our local community.

About Us:
WAM is a subsidiary of the Whanganui Regional Health Network (WRHN), established in 2003 to enhance community access to urgent and after-hours healthcare.

We provide urgent and primary care services from 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week, including public holidays, in a well-supported, collaborative environment.

The Role:
As a Nurse Practitioner with WAM, you’ll be an integral member of a multidisciplinary team, working to provide high-quality, timely, and culturally responsive care to patients across a wide range of presentations. You’ll work autonomously within your scope, while collaborating closely with doctors, nurses, and other allied health professionals. Flexible rostered rotating shifts and hours negotiable.

• Has urgent or primary care experience (preferred)

• Is confident in clinical decision-making and diagnostics

• Demonstrates a compassionate, patient-centred approach to care

• Thrives in a team-oriented environment and is committed to health equity

• Has excellent communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills

• Embraces continuous improvement, cultural safety, and community-focused healthcare

Why Join Us?

• Work in a modern facility co-located with the ED, enhancing collaboration and patient outcomes

• Be part of a supportive and inclusive team that values your expertise

• Enjoy flexible working arrangements – full-time and part-time considered

• Contribute to a service with real impact in the Whanganui community

• Opportunities for ongoing professional development and growth
