More Than a Nursing Role. A Career with Purpose.

Imagine finishing every shift knowing you've genuinely changed someone's day. At Respect, we believe aged care is about more than clinical excellence—it's about creating moments of comfort, dignity, connection, and joy. Every conversation, every smile, every act of compassion matters.

Respect Master Lodge is seeking an experienced and passionate Registered Nurse to join our supportive team on a Part-time basis.

Key Duties

• Compile a comprehensive history from residents and/or family members to identify care needs through resident admissions and ongoing assessments.
• Maintain accurate and comprehensive clinical documentation that reflects care delivery.
• Develop, implement, and regularly evaluate resident care plans, and assist with admission assessments.
• Provide direct clinical care to residents as required, including (but not limited to) personal hygiene, pain management, massage therapy, and participating in GP rounds.

• Knowledge of the Residential Classification Scale and the Aged Care Quality Standards.
• Current National Police Certificate (or the ability to obtain one).
• Understanding of government standards and legislative requirements for the delivery of aged care.
• Strong clinical assessment, communication, and documentation skills.
• An understanding of the aged care accreditation process.

To be considered for employment with Respect, each candidate must satisfy the legislative requirements of Aged Care Worker Screening to ensure suitability to work in the aged care industry.
