Te Omanga Hospice is a charitable trust that provides specialist palliative care to patients and their whānau in the Hutt Valley living with a life-limiting or terminal illness. Our vision is that everyone with palliative needs in our community receives equitable, responsive, and proactive care. We hold our values close to our heart, with respect, partnership, compassion and learning at the core of everything we do.
We celebrate different perspectives and are committed to creating an equal and inclusive workplace. The community we support is diverse, and it is important to us that diversity is reflected in the team here at Te Omanga.

We are looking for a leader — someone who can bring together strategy, storytelling, and community connection to grow our impact and ensure Te Omanga Hospice continues to provide free, specialist care to those who need it most.
At Te Omanga, what we do matters. Every dollar raised, every story shared, and every connection made directly supports patients and whānau across the Greater Hutt Valley and Wairarapa.
