Work alongside tāngata whaiora to help improve their mental health and wellbeing and make positive lifestyle changes.

About the role | Mō tēnei tūranga mahi
Te Tumu Waiora - te reo for ‘to head towards wellness’ - is a model of primary mental health and addictions care and support which aims to provide all New Zealanders experiencing mental distress or addiction challenges with access to convenient, high quality, integrated and person-centred care and support. The model is being rolled out nationally and is free to enrolled patients at participating Primary Health care practices.

The model puts mental health and wellbeing at the heart of general practice with focused roles, Health Improvement Practitioners and Health Coaches working as part of the general practice team. They also have access to a Support Worker who links the team and their patients to services throughout the community.

As a Health Coach you’ll be working as part of the Te Tumu Waiora collective in the primary health care and working across two primary health care practices in Lincoln and Waimairi.
