Job description

Working within our dedicated Radiation Oncology service, you’ll become part of a close-knit multidisciplinary team focused on providing high-quality, patient-centred care throughout each patient’s radiation therapy journey. This is a great opportunity for an RN looking for the flexibility of casual work while continuing to deliver meaningful, hands‑on patient care in a supportive clinical environment. Previous oncology experience is highly regarded but isn’t essential – our experienced team will provide support and training in Radiation Oncology nursing.

Responsibilities

• Provide high‑quality nursing care, ensuring patients’ physical and psychological needs are supported throughout their treatment.
• Provide patient education and support before, during and following radiation therapy.
• Undertake direct patient care including wound management and medication administration in accordance with practice protocols.
• Effectively manage the nursing needs of patients attending the clinic each day.
• Work closely with radiation therapists, medical physicists, patient services and other members of the multidisciplinary team to support coordinated patient care.
• Ensure all patient interactions and clinical information are appropriately documented, communicated and actioned.
• Monitor and maintain procedures, protocols, practices and clinical guidelines in line with best‑practice Radiation Oncology nursing standards.
• Follow medication management protocols and clinical governance requirements.
• Use ISBAR communication for patient handover and communication with relevant health and allied health services.
• Demonstrate reliability, flexibility and a commitment to providing an exceptional patient experience.

What we’re looking for

• Hold current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse.
• Ideally have a minimum of two years’ post‑graduate nursing experience.
• Have previous oncology or cancer care experience, although this is not essential as Radiation Oncology nursing training will be provided.
• Have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and can demonstrate empathy and compassion for patients and their families.
• Have well‑developed clinical judgement, analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Are confident in wound care management.
• Demonstrate a commitment to best‑practice principles, quality improvement and the NSQHS Standards.
• Are committed to ongoing professional development and learning.

Benefits

• Enjoy the flexibility of a casual nursing position.
• Work within a supportive, close‑knit multidisciplinary team.
• No night shifts – enjoy a better work/life balance.
• Have the time to provide personalised, high‑quality care and build meaningful relationships with patients throughout their treatment.
• Access internal and external training and development opportunities.
• Uniform provided following the probationary period.
• Be part of a collaborative and supportive national healthcare community.
• Access employee benefits including Qantas membership discounts, gym and swim membership discounts, Bupa discounts and Flare benefits.
• Access health and wellbeing initiatives and events.
• You and your family will have access to free, confidential support through our Employee Assistance Program, including financial, nutritional and wellbeing coaching, legal advice and counselling.
