Job description

Are you a Registered Nurse who likes teaching and helping other nurses build their skills? Omeo District Health is a small Rural Health Service in Victoria's beautiful East Gippsland High Country, and they're looking for a Clinical Nurse Educator to lead education and clinical supervision right across the service.

It's a broad role. Reporting to the Director of Nursing, you'll design, coordinate and deliver education across Urgent Care, Acute Care, Residential Aged Care and Community Nursing. You'll run mandatory training and competency assessments, bring on graduate and early-career nurses, and provide clinical supervision and mentoring to Registered and Enrolled Nurses. You'll keep the service accreditation-ready against the NSQHS and Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, and use what the incident and audit data is telling you to decide where education is needed most. In a service this size you'll have a hand in everything, and a real say in the standard of care.

About You

• Registered Nurse with current AHPRA registration
• Postgraduate qualification in Clinical Education, or working towards one
• Experience in clinical education, staff development or workforce capability
• Sound understanding of the NSQHS Standards and Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards
• Experience in competency assessment and clinical supervision
• A strong communicator and facilitator, comfortable reading clinical data to work out where education is needed
• Valid Australian work rights, National Police Check, Working with Children Check, NDIS Worker Screening and mandatory vaccinations (including annual influenza)

Why Join Omeo District Health?

• A Generous Classification - Graded at Principal Educator (ZF5), a strong pay band with the autonomy to match
• Lifestyle & Location - Swap the commute for mountain air. You'll be surrounded by national parks, rivers and lakes, minutes from the Omeo Mountain Bike Park and just 55km from Hotham Alpine Resort
• Relocation Support - Assistance available to help you make the move
• Salary Packaging - Maximise your take-home pay with generous packaging options
• Supportive Culture - Join a close-knit, values-driven team (Compassion, Accountability, Respect, Excellence) where the work you do actually matters

Ready for a Change?

It's a rare chance to lead education across a whole service, in a part of the world most people only get to on holiday.
