If you love acute nursing and the pace and variety that comes with it, this is a chance to do the work that matters, in a supportive team in one of the friendliest pockets of the Murray.

Reporting to the Nurse Unit Manager, you'll provide safe, evidence-based care to medical and surgical patients within a team nursing model. You'll work in close collaboration with the multidisciplinary team to deliver coordinated, patient-centred care in line with Swan Hill District Health's vision of Connected Care, Best Experience.

What you'll need

• AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse
• Sound clinical skills and judgement, with strong organisational, time management and problem-solving ability
• Confidence providing safe, direct patient care in a fast-paced acute setting: participating in bedside handover, checking, recording and administering medications, and documenting care to organisational and professional standards
• Experience working effectively within a multidisciplinary team
• Respect for the cultural diversity of the patients and community you care for
• Well-developed verbal, written and electronic communication skills
• A commitment to ongoing education, CPD and evidence-based practice in line with NMBA standards

An understanding of the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards and experience supervising enrolled nurses or students are desirable.

Why you'll want this one

• Full-time or part-time hours to suit your life
• Relocation and accommodation assistance to make the move easy
• Visa support for suitable candidates
• Generous salary packaging benefits
• ADO accrual for full-time staff
• A helping hand from Attract Connect Stay (https://attractconnectstay.com.au/), who'll support you and your family to settle in and feel at home
• A supportive team and a lifestyle that's hard to beat: affordable, unhurried, and right on the river
