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:
This is an ideal programme if you are 16 years or older and want to provide advanced support to a person with complex needs or family/whanau.
For distance learning: If you are 16 years or older, already working in the healthcare sector and keen to upskill, this programme will enable you to provide advanced support to a person or family/whanau with complex needs.
