Got the job, they even said they'd help me with finding accommodation.

Actually a bit excited now and it has really reassured me.

I recorded the interview so I can show my parents.

Serious face;

Congrats!

As others have said, it does seem a bit quick. I'd really look into the company. They either have a ridiculously high turnover rate so just hire people so they always have replacements, or there's something dodgy going on.

Do you know what it means?

It's very important in my industry rather than just a social, medical or biological model

Not really. I do have this effect in interviews. Again, I don't mean to sound big headed but I do come across really well

It's not like I'm starting tomorrow. I haven't even booked a flight but he interviewed me and is happy to proceed.

He said he would normally do the interview with someone else and they'd write the notes. He'd normally consult with them but based on my CV/experience he's happy to offer it me. He is actually the service delivery manager so he knows what he's looking for and decision comes down to him I'd imagine

Welcome to care tbh, high turn over is just an unfortunate part of the system normally.

There one of the leading health providers in New Zealand so I would highly doubt it's dodgy.

What is it exactly that is too good to be true?

You apply for a job, they short list you based on your CV, they interview you over teams (quite normal considering its in new Zealand)... You impress them so they are happy for you to work for them the interview was nearly an hour long too
