We are a national network of not-for-profit hospitals and our promise is a quality-driven service. Any surpluses are reinvested into employee development, improving medical facilities and ensuring affordable access for all New Zealanders. We have a long tradition of providing access to excellent, value for money surgical care for all our patients.
Variety, flexibility and opportunity
Southern Cross Hospitals offers employment in a range of working environments across a national network that includes 9 wholly-owned and a range of joint-venture facilities.
We were the first private hospital group to gain approval from the Nursing Council of New Zealand for our Professional Development & Recognition Programme (PDRP). We also offer access to education programmes including perioperative nursing, surgical nursing, and return to nursing courses, as well as anaesthetic technician training.
Within our website, you’ll find links to current nursing vacancies and our education programmes.
We are the largest private surgical sector employer of registered nurses in the country. Other roles within our hospital network include anaesthetic technicians, healthcare assistants, commercial and household support, and managerial and administrative personnel.
We do not employ our own doctors, but instead provide surgical facilities for more than 800 of the country’s surgeons and anaesthetists, many of whom are leaders and innovators in their chosen field and support our vision of ensuring affordable access value-for-money quality healthcare.
