Job description

Make a genuine impact within your local community through clinical leadership and care coordination.

Enjoy a flexible, balanced work life working independently with a wide variety of customers.

Step into a role where your organisational and communication skills are just as valued as your clinical knowledge.

This role is ideal if you’re an experienced RN looking to step back from high-intensity bedside care, move into a coordination-focused position, or balance clinical work with leadership and documentation responsibilities.

About us:

Across Australia Just Better Care provides in-home aged care and disability support services, supporting people to live independently. For over 15 years, we have been supporting older people, and people living with disability, to live independently in their own homes and stay connected to their local community.

Our friendly, compassionate and experienced team makes this possible.

Duties and responsibilities include:

• Coordinating and monitoring care plans in accordance with medical practitioner directions and support plans
• Documenting client assessments, progress notes and care outcomes via digital systems and mobile devices
• Liaising with allied health professionals, hospital discharge teams and community stakeholders
• Monitoring and communicating on customer wellbeing and reporting on progress
• Developing connections with external organisations, hospitals and community partners
• Ensuring all services meet Just Better Care’s policy and procedures, legislative requirements and program-specific guidelines (e.g. DVA Community Nursing)
• Conducting clinical skills assessments of Community Support Professionals performing complex care services
• Demonstrating commitment to best practice and evidence of continued professional development
• Participating in staff meetings and attending training opportunities as required

About you:

• You are an experienced RN ready to shift into a coordination or case management-style position
• You enjoy clinical documentation, oversight and quality assurance as much as hands-on care
• You have experience supervising or mentoring junior nursing or support staff
• Caring, compassionate and friendly with strong interpersonal skills
• Demonstrated high-level verbal and written communication skills
• Proven relationship management with internal and external stakeholders
• Strong organisational and time management skills
• Experience in care coordination, case management or clinical documentation
• Comfortable using technology (mobile devices) for accessing rosters, recording assessments and documenting feedback
• Reliable, dependable and able to work independently and as part of a team
• You thrive in a community setting with variety, autonomy and flexibility

What you will need:

• Current Registered Nurse registration with AHPRA
• Evidence of continued professional development
• NDIS Worker Screening Clearance / Criminal Record Check
• Current CPR / First Aid Certificate
• Current Australian Driver’s Licence
• Reliable, registered and insured vehicle (comprehensive insurance preferred)
• Previous experience in community care, health or aged care sector (preferred)
• Proof of COVID-19 vaccination (where relevant)

Possible starts with you!
