Regional Programme Coordinator - Practices Services

• Be the go-to coordinator connecting trainees, employers, and healthcare partners
• Help shape the future of advanced nursing in Aotearoa
• Champion equity and culturally safe practice across the region

Supporting Nurse Practitioner trainees and employers to deliver equitable, high-quality care across the region.

About Us:  

We’re passionate about supporting health and wellbeing across our communities.  Working alongside general practices and community health providers, we help deliver quality care and improve outcomes for everyone.  

Our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and equity means we strive to ensure fair access for Māori, Pacific peoples, CALD communities, LGBTQI+, and other priority populations. 

At Pegasus Health, you’ll be part of a collaborative, people-focused team in a vibrant, dynamic environment that values diversity and work-life balance. Together, we live our values and work toward equitable health outcomes for all. 

We are part of a newly established consortium of six Primary Health Organisations (PHOs) working together to deliver the Nurse Practitioner Training Support Scheme (NPTSS). This nationally coordinated, regionally responsive Scheme is designed to support nurses during the final year of their Nurse Practitioner (NP) training and the first 6 months following registration. 

Our six PHOs are recognised as strategic influencers within the health system. Collectively, we support more than 450 general practices across key regions providing reach, local insight and sector expertise. We will collaborate with other parts of the health sector nationally and regionally who may employ NP trainees as part of this programme. 

As a collective, we are committed to ensuring the NPTSS is scalable, equitable, and responsive to the diverse needs of NP trainees, including those working in urban, rural and isolated communities across Aotearoa. 

About the Opportunity: 

This is a 12-month, part-time opportunity, we anticipate 0.4-0.6 FTE but we are happy to negotiate with you.  

The Regional Programme Coordinator plays a vital role in supporting the successful delivery of the NPTSS. Reporting to the Regional Nursing Director and working closely with the Regional Nurse Practitioner Lead, this position provides critical coordination and administrative support to ensure the smooth operation of the programme across the region.

A key focus of the role is to support both employers and Nurse Practitioner trainees throughout the programme – monitoring progress and ensuring access to supervision, mentoring, and cultural support. The Regional Programme Coordinator will also help maintain programme quality and consistency, proactively identifying and addressing any challenges that may affect the trainee’s learning experience or placement success.

Collaboration and relationship management are central to this role. You’ll work closely with employers, tertiary education providers, cultural supervisors, and key partners across primary, community, and secondary care. This role is well-suited to someone who thrives on connection, coordination, and contributing to equitable health outcomes for Māori, Pacific, and priority populations.

About You:

• Experience in programme coordination within primary, community, or aged care, or a similar healthcare environment
• Strong relationship management and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across diverse stakeholders
