Job Description

Did you say VARIETY? If you are an RN with current Cardiothoracic ICU experience, who loves clinical and also loves to teach others, then here's the perfect hybrid role for you! This is a 0.9 FTE job working 12 hr rostered shifts. The split of this role is:

  • 0.5 FTE as RN in our Cardiothoracic (CT) ICU, plus assisting in the cardiothoracic surgical ward (CTU) as required
  • 0.4 FTE as Clinical Coach for both CTICU and CTU. The focus of the coaching role is to bridge the theory to practice gap for nurses working in the ICU and CTU. You'll work in partnership with and be supported by an awesome charge nurse, and the Clinical Practice Team.


You'll be based at Mercy Hospital in Epsom where our 6 bed CTICU and 13 bed CTU is currently housed on our St Anne's floor. BUT - in mid 2025 these units will shift and expand into our brand new wing; to become a 12 bed CT & general ICU/HDU & 13 bed CTU. As an RN/Coach in our ICU, you'll work alongside Auckland's top Cardiothoracic Surgeons, Cardiac Interventionists and a strong, motivated team of RNs and HCAs. You'll enjoy a positive and supportive team environment where open communication and respect is highly valued.

To succeed in this role you need:

  • Registration with the Nursing Council of New Zealand and a current APC
  • A post graduate qualification in critical care/ICU
  • At least 3 years current experience in a cardiothoracic ICU- within a NZ hospital
  • (preferably) Experience providing clinical education to RNs - coaching or precepting
  • Confidence in your practice with the ability to work autonomously
  • The ability to relate to a wide variety of customers including patients and their families, as well as our multidisciplinary teams and surgeons
