Are you early in your IT career and looking for an opportunity to build on your technical skills, tackle new challenges and work with technology that makes a real difference?
We're looking for a Junior Implementation Consultant to join our team in Christchurch!
At Orion Health, we develop technology that helps healthcare organisations connect information, improve workflows and deliver better patient care. As a Junior Implementation Consultant, you'll play a hands-on role in helping our customers successfully implement and use our software solutions.
Working alongside experienced consultants, you'll gain exposure to software configuration, systems integration, troubleshooting and customer engagement. This is a great opportunity for someone with a foundation in IT who's eager to expand their technical knowledge, take on new responsibilities and develop their career in health technology.
What you'll be doing:
- Assisting with the installation, configuration and implementation of Orion Health software solutions.
- Supporting technical investigations, troubleshooting and testing to ensure our solutions work as expected.
- Working with databases, SQL and other technologies to support implementation activities.
- Collaborating with experienced consultants, developers and project teams to deliver successful customer outcomes.
- Building your understanding of healthcare systems, integration technologies and industry standards.
- Engaging with customers and developing your confidence in communicating technical information.
About You
We're looking for someone with a good technical foundation, a natural curiosity for how things work and a genuine enthusiasm for solving problems.
Ideally, you'll bring:
- 12+ months of experience in a software-focused IT role, such as application support, software development, testing or systems implementation.
- A relevant qualification in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems or a related field (whether through university, polytechnic or another pathway), or equivalent hands-on technical experience.
- A basic understanding of SQL, JavaScript or similar technologies.
- An interest in software systems, integration and technical troubleshooting.
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to engage with customers and colleagues.
- A proactive, solutions-focused attitude, with the ability to think critically, take initiative and ask questions when needed.
- A willingness to learn new technologies and develop your technical capabilities.
Any exposure to healthcare technologies or integration standards such as HL7 and FHIR would be a bonus, but certainly isn't essential.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who enjoys getting stuck into technical challenges, is keen to keep learning and wants to build a career in software implementation.

What We Do
We constantly hear how healthcare systems are under pressure or broken and that healthcare is mired in siloed systems. But what if the visible cracks in healthcare were actually symptoms of not embracing the digital transformation other industries have used to flourish? Not giving our frontline heroes the tools required to do their job? What if we reimagined how care is delivered? Built and developed over 30 years, Orion Health’s Unified Healthcare Platform composed of Orchestral Health intelligence platform, Virtuoso Digital Front Door and Amadeus Digital Care Record, is a world-first, all-inclusive solution. It combines the primary applications needed to access and deliver care with a robust analytical data foundation. It provides rich insights, automates workflows and empowers people while maintaining the highest data security and governance standards.
