Job description

Registered Nurse – Community Nursing (Casual) | Grafton & The Clarence

Want flexible work where you have time to care properly and see your patients get better?

Far North Coast Wound Services (FNCWS) is a mobile community nursing service caring for people in their own homes across the Northern Rivers. We started in wound and vascular care and now also provide chronic and complex health nursing. We're growing, and we're looking for a casual Registered Nurse based around Grafton to join our small but rapidly growing supportive team.

This isn't a busy ward where you rush from bed to bed. You'll have time to assess properly, get to know your patients, and work alongside experienced Clinical Nurse Consultants who want to help you build your skills.

What we do

Acute and chronic wound management, including complex and non-healing wounds

Vascular assessment (Doppler, ABI/TBI) and compression therapy

Urinary catheter care and changes (IDC and SPC)

Chronic disease support and health education

Why you'll love working with us

Flexible casual shifts that work around your life

Mentoring from Clinical Nurse Consultants, so you're never left on your own with a tricky wound or complex client

Variety every day: wounds, catheters, chronic conditions and more

Real clinical autonomy in the community, with backup whenever you need it

Ongoing professional development across wound, vascular and complex care

A small, friendly team where your ideas are heard and your work is valued

Clarence region lifestyle: country towns, coast and hinterland without city traffic

Career Advancement: Hands‑on training will strengthen your clinical skills, assisting in your nursing career.

Employment: The right applicant has the option to move from casual to permanent.

Experience in wounds, catheters, community, aged care or GP practice is a bonus, but we'll support you to learn

What you'll need to start

Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse (no conditions)
