Location: Yeoval Hostel

Want the flexibility of casual nursing without feeling like a stranger every time you walk through the door?

UPA of NSW is building a directly employed casual team of Registered Nurses across Yeovalfor Christmas, New Year and beyond.

These are direct UPA employment opportunities—not agency placements. You won’t just be another name filling a shift; you’ll be a UPA employee and part of the team from day one.

You’ll receive a proper UPA induction, ongoing workplace support and the chance to work with familiar residents, teams and homes rather than starting from scratch every shift.

It’s the flexibility of casual nursing, with real connection and support—and the potential to move into ongoing or permanent employment when opportunities become available.

WHY THIS CASUAL ROLE IS DIFFERENT

As a directly employed UPA casual Registered Nurse, you’ll receive:

• Flexible shifts matched to your availability where possible
• Competitive casual rates, including applicable loadings and penalty rates
• Opportunities for extra work throughout Christmas, New Year and beyond

• Access to UPA’s Employee Assistance Program and wellbeing support
• The chance to be considered for permanent roles when suitable vacancies become available
• Meaningful clinical work supporting older people in your community

ABOUT THE ROLE

Great care is built on trust, consistency and genuine human connection.

As a Registered Nurse with UPA, you’ll provide high-quality, evidence-based and resident-focused clinical care, supporting our residents to maintain their independence, wellbeing and quality of life. You’ll also play an important role in providing clinical guidance and support to the wider care team.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Providing safe, person-centred nursing care within your RN scope of practice
• Completing clinical assessments and identifying residents’ changing care needs
• Developing and contributing to individual care plans
• Providing clinical support, advice and guidance to Personal Care Workers and the wider care team
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date clinical documentation
• Responding appropriately to changes in residents’ health and escalating concerns where required
• Supporting medication management in line with UPA policies and clinical requirements
• Communicating effectively with residents, families, medical professionals and other health professionals
• Providing clinical supervision and supporting employees to maintain appropriate clinical competencies
• Contributing to quality improvement, infection control and safe clinical practice

The role carries responsibility for clinical care as well as providing effective clinical supervision and guidance to employees delivering resident care.

YOU’LL BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU:

• Are a Registered Nurse with current AHPRA registration
• Hold a Bachelor of Nursing or equivalent qualification
• Have at least 12 months’ post-registration experience
• Have a compassionate, respectful and resident-focused approach to nursing
• Have strong clinical assessment, decision-making and problem-solving skills
• Communicate confidently with residents, families and multidisciplinary teams
• Are reliable and comfortable responding to available casual shifts
• Hold current Australian working rights
• Can work across a range of days and shift times

Previous residential aged-care experience, experience with LeeCare or Medsig, and current First Aid & CPR are desirable.
