Short-term remote NP role with flexible hours, handling scripts & inbox support in a structured, low-volume clinical environment.

  • Fully Remote Locum Role (29 June-28 July) with Flexible Hours.
  • Manage Scripts + Inbox Remotely within a Structured Primary Care System.
  • Light Weekly Workload (2-4.5 hrs) with Clear Clinical Protocols in Place.

The Role:

We are seeking a Nurse Practitioner to provide short-term remote cover for prescription processing and basic inbox management during a defined period.

This is a fully remote locum/contract assignment supporting with repeat and acute script generation, alongside light inbox administration, working within clear clinical protocols and scope.

The cover period runs from 29th June - 28th July (inclusive), with work required Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The workload is light and flexible, averaging approximately 2 - 4.5 hours per week depending on volume, and can be completed outside standard hours.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Generating repeat and acute prescriptions via PMS in line with NP scope
  • Reviewing and filing incoming correspondence (no results management)
  • Providing appropriate tide-over scripts where clinically indicated
  • Declining script requests where necessary, with clear clinical reasoning
  • Communicating outcomes to patients via PMS messaging (scripts issued, tide-overs, declines, or follow-up required)
This is a structured, protocol-driven role suited to someone confident working autonomously and comfortably within remote systems.

Work does not need to be completed in real time and can be done flexibly, including outside standard hours. Secure access to the practice management system is provided.

The Organisation:

This is a well-established primary healthcare provider delivering high-quality, patient-centred general practice services across a modern, well-structured clinical network. The team operates a collaborative model supporting both in-clinic and remote clinicians, underpinned by clear clinical frameworks, streamlined systems, and strong governance. There is a strong focus on safe, efficient care, continuity of service, and providing clinicians with a well-supported environment to deliver consistent, high-standard patient outcomes.

You Will:
  • Be a registered Nurse Practitioner with current NZ APC
  • Be confident working independently within prescribing scope
  • Have experience with prescribing and clinical decision-making
  • Be comfortable working remotely using clinical systems (PMS)
  • Be able to follow structured protocols and documentation standards
  • Communicate clearly and professionally with patients
  • Be reliable, detail-focused, and comfortable with light-volume, flexible work
  • Be available across the cover period (29 June – 28 July, Mon/Wed/Fri)
Interested?
