East Gippsland offers an enviable lifestyle, with spectacular coastlines, mountains, lakes and national parks right on your doorstep. Home to the Gippsland Lakes, one of Australia's largest inland waterways, the region offers endless opportunities for boating, fishing, hiking and exploring nature. From vibrant regional centres to charming country towns and coastal communities, there is a strong sense of place, with excellent local schools, childcare, cafés, restaurants, retail and a growing food and wine scene. It's a place where you can enjoy the benefits of a connected regional community while making the most of an exceptional natural environment.

Gippsland Lakes Complete Health (GLCH) is a high-profile service provider in East Gippsland.

GLCH provides an extensive range of health and community services to the people of East Gippsland, whilst actively promoting integrated service provision.

GLCH has demonstrated its capability in the community and is highly regarded by professional and local community groups in the region as well as local members of parliament.

Primarily based in Lakes Entrance, (with travel to other GLCH sites as required), the Home and Community Based Nursing Manager provides day-to-day management and clinical and professional leadership across home-based, aged and complex care nursing services, including palliative care.

• Monitoring service targets, funding requirements and timely reporting to funding bodies
• Developing policies, procedures and improvement strategies, and contributing to GLCH strategic planning
• Managing the approved team budget, billing processes and monthly financial reporting
• Building effective relationships with health service providers and key community organisations

To be successful, you will be a Registered Nurse with current AHPRA registration and clinical experience and knowledge appropriate to the scope of the service.

You will bring demonstrated experience leading and mentoring staff, together with sound clinical governance capability, including the effective management of clinical risk and client safety. A postgraduate qualification and experience in a relevant clinical area will be highly regarded but are not mandatory.

You will bring excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a well-organised and practical approach to your work.
