Job description

Lead with purpose. Make a difference. Be part of something bigger.

At Respect, we believe aged care is about more than providing support — it’s about creating places where people feel safe, valued, connected and truly at home.

As the largest provider of aged care services in Regional Australia, Respect is a growing, values-led not-for-profit organisation with an exciting future ahead.

Following Respect’s acquisition of McLean Care, our organisation is entering an exciting new chapter, bringing together people, expertise and communities with a shared commitment to delivering exceptional care for older Australians.

This is your opportunity to join that journey.

Are you ready to make a real impact in aged care? Join McLean Gardens in Inverell, NSW as a full-time Care Coordinator and help shape a culture of clinical excellence, continuous improvement and exceptional resident care.

This is an opportunity to step into a full-time, Monday to Friday clinical role, where you can focus on what matters most — strengthening clinical governance, improving care outcomes and ensuring the highest standards of quality, safety and compliance.

Working closely with the General Manager, Care Manager and Clinical Quality & Compliance Coordinator (where applicable), you’ll drive quality improvement initiatives, oversee clinical risk and compliance systems, support best-practice care and ensure readiness for accreditation and regulatory reviews.

We’re looking for an experienced Registered Nurse who is passionate about clinical leadership, quality outcomes and making a meaningful difference in the lives of older people.

No two days are the same! As Care Coordinator you will be:

• Coordinating and reviewing person-centred resident care plans
• Completing clinical assessments and responding to changes in residents’ needs
• Supporting admissions and ensuring new residents are appropriately assessed
• Working closely with residents, families and healthcare professionals
• Maintaining high standards of clinical documentation
• Providing and supporting direct nursing care when required
• Monitoring wounds, falls, clinical deterioration and other areas of clinical risk
• Supporting medication management, infection control and clinical audits
• Assisting with investigation and close-out of clinical incidents
• Guiding, supporting and developing nurses and care staff
• Supporting staff orientation, competency assessment and education
• Promoting best-practice care, continuous improvement and strong clinical governance.

About You

• Bachelor of Nursing
• Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse
• Experience working within residential aged care
• Strong clinical assessment, documentation and nursing practice skills
• Experience working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Confidence using Microsoft applications and clinical information systems.
• Experience in a similar clinical leadership role, knowledge of aged care accreditation and quality improvement programs.

Why You Will Love Working With Us

• A friendly, supportive workplace where people and purpose matter.
• Meaningful work where you make a difference every day.
• Opportunities to build a rewarding, long-term career in aged care.
• Competitive salary packaging, with up to $15,900 for living expenses and an additional $2,650 for meals and holiday accommodation.
