Job description

Vascular Health Group is seeking an experienced Registered Nurse to join our established specialist vascular and venous practice in Hawthorn East. This role would particularly suit a nurse with experience in theatre, recovery, emergency, ICU, day surgery or procedural nursing who enjoys clinical work and patient contact but is looking for more predictable hours and a high-quality specialist environment. You will work closely with an experienced vascular surgeon, GP phlebologist and multidisciplinary clinical team, assisting with minimally invasive venous procedures and supporting patients throughout their treatment. Our patients are ambulant and procedures are performed in our purpose-designed rooms under local/tumescent anaesthesia, with no general anaesthesia or sedation.

Key responsibilities

• Assisting with in-room vascular and venous procedures
• Preparation and administration of tumescent local anaesthetic within scope and under medical direction
• Assisting with ultrasound-guided procedures
• Patient preparation, monitoring and post-procedure care
• Maintaining excellent infection-control and procedural standards
• Procedure-room setup and turnover
• Stock, equipment and consumables management
• Patient education and communication
• Supporting efficient clinical workflow across the practice

More than a traditional nursing role

Vascular Health Group is entering an exciting period of development, with expansion of our medical and sonography team and growing integration with WeWell, our preventative health and lifestyle medicine initiative.

We are also developing opportunities for clinical research and patient-outcomes projects, particularly in vascular health, metabolic health, exercise, continuous glucose monitoring, lifestyle interventions and preventative medicine.

For a nurse with an interest in research, quality improvement or preventative health, there may be opportunities over time to participate in areas such as:

• Clinical research and patient-outcomes projects
• Patient recruitment and study coordination
• Data collection and follow-up
• Quality-improvement initiatives
• Vascular and metabolic health programs
• Development of patient education and preventative-health initiatives
• Research experience is not required. Equally, involvement in these areas would not be essential for someone primarily interested in the clinical nursing role.

Why this role is different

• Regular daytime hours - no nights
• Tuesday-Thursday, approximately 8:00am-4:00pm
• No acute ward workload
• No general anaesthesia or sedated patients
• Interesting hands-on procedural work
• Small, experienced multidisciplinary team
• Beautiful purpose-designed consulting and procedure rooms
• On-site parking and excellent public transport
• Established and stable patient base
• Genuine opportunity to develop the role according to your interests
• Potential involvement in research, preventative health and lifestyle medicine
• Quality of care valued over volume

About you

• AHPRA-registered as a Registered Nurse
• Experienced in theatre, ED, ICU, recovery, day surgery or procedural nursing
• Clinically confident and safety focused
• Calm and reassuring with awake patients
• Highly organised and attentive to detail
• Proactive and able to work independently
• Interested in becoming an important long-term member of a small clinical team
