Job description

Registered Nurse Care Designer/Ambassador

Registered Nurse | Care Ambassador or Care Designer (Based on Experience) Nurse Next Door Albury Wodonga Full time | $43.00 – $65.00 per hour (Negotiable for Senior Care Designer role)

Ready for a nursing role that's a little different?

If you love nursing but are also passionate about shaping quality care, building relationships, and Making Lives Better, this could be the role for you.

Nurse Next Door Albury Wodonga is looking for a passionate Registered Nurse to join our team. Depending on your level of leadership experience, we are open to bringing you on as a Care Ambassador (a hybrid of clinical care, mentoring, and coordination) or a Care Designer (taking on a heavier leadership and complex care planning focus).

This isn't a traditional nursing position.

We already have a dedicated Clinical team focused on client care in the home. Instead, you will work independently within a collaborative leadership team, combining your clinical skills with care coordination and community networking.

Who are we?

Nurse Next Door is a leading premium homecare service provider. Our purpose is simple: Making Lives Better.

We are dedicated to delivering flexible in-home nursing care options in the aged care and disability sectors. Our staff are the absolute heart of our business. We are building an incredible, innovative culture here in Albury Wodonga, built around four core values:

• Admire People
• WOW Customer Experience
• Find a Better Way
• Passionate About Making a Difference

So, what exactly will you be doing?

Think of this role as a dynamic combination of clinical nurse, care coordinator, mentor, and client advocate. No two days will look exactly the same, but your core focus will include:

• Hands-on Care: Providing direct client care as part of your role, including both caregiving and nursing visits will be up to 70% of your working hours at times. Depending on the business needs and your specific role level, direct care will be a meaningful part of your weekly hours.
• Clinical Excellence: Completing nursing visits within your scope of practice, with a focus on wound care, catheterisation, medication management, and diabetes management. Training available.
• Care Coordination: Completing client assessments, First Visits, and Care Plan Reviews to develop highly tailored, person-centred care plans.
• Team Support: Assisting with caregiver education, development, and supervision, including supporting clinical competencies.
• Monitoring & Advocacy: Reviewing progress notes, monitoring client wellbeing, and proactively identifying changes, risks, or deterioration.
• Relationship Building: Working closely with clients, families, and healthcare industry contacts (e.g., Discharge Planners, Support At Home Carefinders, NDIS Support Coordinators, Medical Team, Allied Health, Palliative Care Team) to generate referrals.
• Leadership Support: Supporting the wider leadership team with day-to-day service coordination, while participating in a shared, rostered on-call rotation.

What we're looking for

Above everything else, we're looking for a self-led professional who cares deeply about people and takes pride in doing things well.

• Current AHPRA Registration as a Registered Nurse (RN).
• Clinically confident and comfortable working independently in the community.
• An excellent communicator who can build trust with clients, families, and team members.
• Comfortable providing feedback, coaching, and support to others.
• Strong hands-on skills in areas such as catheterisation, diabetes management, and wound care are highly regarded.
• A residential address within 30 minutes of the Albury Wodonga CBD area.

Why you'll love working with us

We want this role to give you something different from a traditional nursing position. You'll have:

• Competitive Pay: $43 - $65 per hour based on your experience and whether you step into the Ambassador or Designer role.
• Shared Responsibility: The comfort of knowing you are supported by an existing Clinical team and a tight-knit leadership group.
• Autonomy: Genuine opportunities to influence how care is delivered locally.
• Supportive Culture: We celebrate and recognise every achievement, no matter how big or small.
• Tools of the Trade: Company-provided uniform, mobile phone, and laptop.
• The Pink Car: Your package includes access to an iconic Nurse Next Door pink car for work use!

Please note: This full-time position requires some flexibility and availability to work occasional evenings, weekends, and on-call as required.

• Current AHPRA Registration (RN)
• CPR & First Aid Certification
• Current Australian Driver's License
• National Disability Worker Screener check
