Registered Nurse - Aged Care

I’m partnering with a community-based not-for-profit provider to recruit four Registered Nurses. The roles are for a fully refurbished residential aged care home opening in December.

These are new positions, not replacements. The home already has a full waiting list, and residents will move in gradually. That means you can settle in, get to know the team and set things up properly from the start.

• Flexible shifts that can be worked around you
• Temporary accommodation available if you’re relocating

• Clinical Care Coordinator and Clinical Facility Manager on site to support you
• A relaxed regional lifestyle close to lakes and beaches
• One interview only, face to face or via Zoom

Main Duties

• Lead resident care on shift, including medication management
• Lead and support a small team of Care Leaders and AINs, delegating safely
• Complete assessments, care plans and reviews, and act quickly on changes in condition

• Work closely with GPs, hospitals, allied health and families
• Help set up clinical systems, routines and audits as the home opens

Essentials

• Registered Nurse with current AHPRA registration
• Residential aged care experience
• Working knowledge of the Strengthened Quality Standards and AN-ACC
• Confident making clinical decisions and leading a team on shift
