New employees: Welcome to the team!

If you have received an employment offer or contract for services from Nelson Marlborough Health (NMH) here is some useful information:

Your offer letter will tell you which documents you need to complete before you begin your employment at NMH. These documents must be returned five days prior to your first day.

Please complete and return the following:

Photograph ID 

Please also provide a photograph (as a jpg file) of yourself for your ID badge at least five days prior to your first day. Please ensure this is a clear 'head and shoulders' photo. If you do not have a photo you wish to use, or would prefer for one to be taken, please contact HR to arrange a time and we can do this for you.

Union membership: Active choice form

Your position with NMH may be covered by a collective employment agreement. Refer to your offer letter for the applicable union(s) to find out if this applies to you. 

If this applies, please read the active choice form and return it if you choose to. 

Note: You are not required to complete this form. NMH is required, however, to notify the applicable union of your name and union preference unless you object. If you choose to complete this form, it needs to be returned within 30 days of your first day.
