Mō te Tūranga | About the Role
As an Anaesthetic Technician or RNAA, you will be an integral part of delivering exceptional, patient-and whānau-centred care in partnership with Anaesthetists and the wider perioperative team. Your clinical expertise is critical in ensuring safe, seamless, and high-quality anaesthetic support, while upholding a culturally responsive environment that prioritises patient safety, dignity, and wellbeing.
Beyond the clinical scope, you’re a key team player—supporting broader hospital initiatives, nurturing strong relationships with patients, families, and medical professionals, and contributing to continuous improvement in safety, quality, and best practice. With a commitment to ongoing professional development, your work not only enhances patient outcomes but also strengthens the success of the wider healthcare team.

While relevant qualifications are essential, we value passion and commitment as much as experience and are proud to support ongoing development at every career stage. This is an opportunity to elevate your career, make a meaningful difference every day, and be recognised for the dedication you bring to patient care and team success.
