Jobs at Pinnacle Health

The Pinnacle group is a primary care pioneer – and we’re proud of that. We're a network of forward thinking general practices and a community service provider, managing the healthcare of nearly half a million people enrolled with 87 practices in Gisborne, Taranaki, Rotorua, Taupō-Turangi, Thames-Coromandel and the Waikato.

We have made an explicit commitment to Māori and our communities to improve equity of health and wellbeing, in accordance with Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We have also made an equity commitment to our Pasifika population.

The individual and whānau experience is of fundamental importance. People in our communities have different levels of privilege and therefore different levels of ability to access the health care they need. We recognise different approaches are needed to ensure equitable health outcomes for all.

We are powerful advocates for primary care services that support people and communities to thrive. We recognise the role of general practice as a hub and shelter within the community – a place to seek help, receive ongoing care from a team that knows you, to take action and to live well.

We can't do this alone. We are committed to partnership, to collaboration, to integration and to walking alongside others for the collective good.

As a group we’re inquisitive, innovative and evolve with purpose – we’re proud to be constantly pushing the boundaries. We were the first in New Zealand to:

• drive positive change through a quality plan for practices
• design and implement the Health Care Home model of care to support not just sustainable but thriving general practice
• step into practice ownership
• provide 24/7 hosted IT solutions for general practice
• develop new roles such as practice based clinical pharmacists and Māori support workers
• step up, commission and co-design a new patient management system
• established integrated data dashboards with our iwi partners.

More recently we've been the first to mainstream pharmacogenomics, and we're leading the way for New Zealand in best practice for management and use of health data, making it simultaneously more secure and useful in predicting future trends with the use of things like machine learning for anomaly detection.
