MŌ MĀTOU - ABOUT US

Our name, Enliven, is a celebration of our beginnings, our heritage and the values we share. Our homes and villages are places where older people have companionship, choice, variety, fun, meaningful activity and a sense of purpose. Being part of our team means the opportunity to share in our values-based approach and be part of a not-for-profit service specialising in the support of our elders.
In Masterton, Kandahar Court offers specialist residential dementia care in a safe and secure environment. Nearby Kandahar Home provides rest home and hospital level care, including short-term respite and health recovery.

Our current wonderful Clinical Nurse Manager is retiring in September and we are looking for someone new to step in and take over the reins. The Clinical Nurse Manager is based at Kandahar Court. This is a hands-on senior management role which supports the Home Manager to provide a comfortable and caring environment for residents and staff.
