Registered Nurse for Aged Care facility

Registered Nurse – Full-time Position
Kapiti Rest Home, Paraparaumu Beach

“Where the warmth is more than the Kapiti sun”

Kapiti Rest Home is a privately owned, friendly, and welcoming aged care home right in the heart of beautiful Paraparaumu Beach. We are looking for a full-time Registered Nurse who is genuinely lovely — kind, compassionate, patient, and with a great sense of humour — to join our team.

We welcome both newly registered and experienced nurses. If you’re passionate about person-centred, holistic care for older people and are happy to work weekends as part of a roster, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing

• Act as a key worker for a group of residents — coordinating and monitoring their multidisciplinary care

• Plan and deliver high-quality personal care that supports residents’ dignity, independence, and quality of life

• Provide clinical leadership and direction to care staff, ensuring best-practice standards

• Manage wound care, pain management, palliative care, continence, nutrition, mobility, and all aspects of daily living

• Build warm, trusting relationships with residents, families, and the wider team

• Work in a safe, positive environment that respects each resident’s unique cultural, emotional, and spiritual needs

What we offer

• A genuinely supportive, family-like team environment

• Ongoing professional development and clinical support

• The chance to make a real difference every day in a stunning beachside location

• A safe, modern workplace with welcoming atmosphere

To be successful you will have

• A current New Zealand Annual Practising Certificate (APC)

• Availability to work full-time on a rotating roster, including weekends (no night shifts)

• The right to work in New Zealand

• Excellent English (written and spoken)

• A current First Aid Certificate

• Good computer skills and strong time management

• A warm, kind, honest, compassionate, and patient nature with a great sense of humour

• Good level of fitness and a professional, well-presented approach

Aged care experience is preferred but not essential — we’re happy to support newly registered nurses who have the right heart for the role.

If you’re a lovely, caring nurse who wants to work full-time in a genuinely warm and supportive rest home by the beach, we’d love to hear from you.
