Ō mātou kaimahi / our staff
Te Piki Oranga employs almost 100 kaimahi throughout Te Tauihu O Te Waka-a-Māui (Top of the South) to deliver health and wellbeing services and to participate in planning and projects.
Our kaimahi provide a range of skills and experience across different professions, disciplines and support areas. They work from health hubs in Wairau, Whakatū and Motueka, or from our head office in Waimeha.
Te Piki Oranga kaimahi affiliate to all eight iwi of Te Tauihu and also ngā māta waka (from iwi outside of our rohe). We have Pasifika and Pakeha /NZ European kaimahi also.
