About Us

Presbyterian Support Otago (PSO) is a Charitable Trust established in 1906. Our Mission is to walk with people across the generations to create together places to live, learn, and thrive. We call out injustice and advocate for positive change. We operate a highly regarded network of 8 care homes across Otago and we provide many other community-based social support programmes.

Residing in Oamaru, a region rich in history and heritage and situated in large park-like grounds, Iona holds 79 residents supported at hospital and rest home level care. Our 4-year MOH certification is a testament to our quality of systems, processes, and living & working environments. At PSO, we value integrity, respect, courage, manaaki, and aroha.

The Role

At Enliven, we create elder-centered communities where older people have companionship, meaningful activity, purpose, and fun in their lives. As a Registered Nurse at Presbyterian Support Otago, you will lead a shift of Care Workers and Enrolled Nurses to provide comprehensive healthcare to residents in a way that promotes independence and quality of life.

You will develop, implement, and evaluate an integrated plan of health care as well as performing general nursing functions. You will need sound nursing knowledge including an awareness of legislation that underpins the work Nurses do. You will have the ability to make clinical decisions that are in the best interests of the residents' wellbeing and safety. Your relationships with residents and families will be built on trust, respect and valuing the contribution they make to the home.
