About the Role

This is a rare opportunity to come in on the ground floor of a brand‑new acute mental health service and play a lead role in shaping how it runs. As the dedicated, inaugural Nurse Manager for our developing Mental Health Hospital in the Home (MH HITH) team, you'll be directly involved in the service's set‑up and in recruiting its inaugural workforce, setting the culture, and working alongside the leadership team to develop, test and refine a model of care designed to reflect our inpatient units; bringing that same standard of acute, multidisciplinary care into the home.

This is a dedicated Nurse Manager position for MH HITH, not a role shared across other units, and sits under Monash Health's new Enterprise Agreement.

This opportunity is open to Registered Psychiatric Nurses at Nurse Manager Grade 5, Level 2 (AG11) or Level 3 (AG12), with the level of appointment reflecting your experience.

In this role you will be required to

• Lead the development, implementation, monitoring and ongoing review of the MH HITH model of care, in close collaboration with the Deputy Operations Manager and senior leadership team.
• Build and shape a new multidisciplinary team, including recruitment, culture‑setting, and establishing rosters, workflows and clinical governance from the ground up.
• Provide clinical and operational leadership across a seven‑day rotating roster, ensuring safe, high‑quality, person‑centred acute care is delivered in consumers' homes.
• Set direction to achieve agreed service targets, improve efficiency and optimise the consumer and family/carer experience.
• Provide visible leadership, supervision and professional development for your team, and drive a culture of optimism, innovation and continuous improvement.
• Manage the unit's financial performance, including budget planning, monitoring and reporting.

About Us

Mental Health Hospital in the Home (MH HITH) is a developing service providing an acute, 10‑bed program designed to partner with consumers and carers to deliver inpatient‑like care within the home. The model of care has been designed to reflect our inpatient units, bringing that same standard of acute, multidisciplinary care into the community. A multidisciplinary team works a seven‑day rotating roster to ensure comprehensive, collaborative and coordinated acute care, as an alternative to hospital admission.

As the team's inaugural Nurse Manager, you'll play a hands‑on role in shaping how the service operates. From the model of care and recruitment through to team culture, working closely with the Deputy Operations Manager, Casey Adult Mental Health Service, and the Mental Health Program's Director of Nursing.

In Return

• Salary packaging options that increase your take-home pay
• A comprehensive Health and Wellbeing program
• Free vaccinations
