AINs are allocated a dedicated wing of patients or residents, allowing you to deliver consistent, holistic care.

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing high-quality patient and resident care
• Assisting with showering, meals, and toileting
• Supporting wound care

To be successful in this role you will hold Certificate III (HLT32507 Or HLT32512) in Health Services Assistance (Acute Care or Aged Care); or be currently enrolled as a Nursing Student (with successful completion of at least two semesters & your first clinical placement) along with a current licence to drive in NSW with the ability to drive for work purposes.
