Harbour Hospice
Harbour Hospice is one of the largest hospices in New Zealand, caring for patients with a life-limiting illness and their whānau for almost 40 years. Every day we care for more than 350 people across the beautiful North Shore, Hibiscus Coast and Warkworth/Wellsford regions, supporting them at home and in our Inpatient Units to live every moment in whatever way is most important to them. Our people are at the heart of our organisation. Caring, courageous, compassionate and driven to deliver the best care possible, our people are the reason Harbour Hospice has the reputation that it does. That reputation, and the strong connection we have with our community, extends to our loyal supporters who help us raise the additional $6.3 million needed each year to ensure that everyone who needs us can be cared for free of charge. It’s also evident in our 1,200 volunteers who donate an equivalent of $3.4 million in time each year. Driven to lead the way in the future of palliative care, we’re committed to investing in research, education, development, leadership opportunities and your wellbeing. We also encourage hybrid working so that our people can thrive in the workplace and at home. After all, when you work on Auckland’s stunning North Shore, you want to enjoy it right?
