Employment opportunities
Employment opportunities for healthcare support workers are good, thanks primarily to New Zealand’s aging population, and the increasing demand this is putting on our healthcare services. And while many care workers are employed in hospitals and nursing homes, there are also excellent opportunities in private home care companies, specialist care providers, church and welfare-based trusts, and home support services run by District Health Boards (DHBs).
Entry-level roles in the health sector include:
If you are 16 years or older, and looking to provide high quality healthcare to the elderly, family/whanau or wider community, this programme is for you.
For Distance Learning: If you are 18+ years (on a work permit) and already working in the healthcare sector, this course is ideal for you to learn about providing high quality person-centred care.
