Working collaboratively with customers, families, care teams and other health professionals, you’ll respond to changing and escalated clinical needs, provide expert nursing guidance and help ensure the right care and services are delivered at the right time.

You’ll be trusted to make a valuable impact by:

• Conducting comprehensive clinical assessments and reviews to inform high-quality care planning
• Managing escalated and complex cases, including restorative, short-term and palliative care
• Providing wound management expertise and clinical advice to multidisciplinary teams
• Prioritising and managing a dynamic caseload in a fast-paced community environment

• Minimum 3 years’ post-registration experience (acute hospital and/or community setting)
• Strong experience in wound management and exposure to palliative or end-of-life care

We would also love you to have:

• Community Aged Care or Support at Home experience
• Experience in restorative, reablement or end-of-life care
