Job description

Registered Nurse | General Medical/ Surgical Ward

Taking care of people is our reason for being

At Sydney Adventist Hospital, fondly known as the San, caring for people is at the core of who we are. It’s what drives us to deliver exceptional outcomes for our patients and it’s a shared sense of purpose that extends to everyone who works here.

When you join our team, you’ll feel valued and supported by our strong commitment to learning, flexibility, great benefits and a positive culture of teamwork and cooperation.

Some of the exceptional benefits we offer include

• As a not-for-profit, we offer salary packaging that can reduce the amount of tax you pay, which can leave you with thousands of dollars more in your pocket.
• Up to 14 weeks paid parental leave
• Discounted gym membership for you and your family using Fitness Passport
• Plus so many more.

What you will be doing in this role

Join our dedicated Harrison Ward team as a Full-Time Registered Nurse, reporting directly to the Nursing Unit Manager (NUM). Harrison Ward is a vibrant 28-bed General Medical/Surgical ward with expertise in long-term wound care, renal nursing, and general medical care.

You’ll work alongside a supportive multidisciplinary team, delivering exceptional, holistic care that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and their families throughout their healthcare journey.

What sets Harrison apart is its people. You’ll become part of a long-standing, close-knit team that genuinely supports one another and is committed to providing high-quality patient care. From day one, you’ll be set up for success with comprehensive bedside orientation, hands-on training, and a dedicated mentor to guide you through your transition. Supported by an approachable NUM who values open communication, collaboration, and professional growth, you’ll find a workplace where your contribution is recognised and your voice is heard.

Who we’re looking for

• A Registered Nurse with current AHPRA registration and at least 12 months of post-registration experience.
• Ideally, someone with acute care experience, but if you come from an aged care background and have a strong desire to learn and grow, we’d love to hear from you too.
• A strong foundation in clinical nursing practice is essential, with the ability to deliver high-quality patient care in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• A compassionate individual who demonstrates natural empathy and emotional intelligence in providing care.
• An excellent communicator who is comfortable engaging with patients, their families, and the team, both verbally and in writing.
• A flexible team player who is happy to work a full-time, rotating roster of 8-hour shifts.
• A candidate with full Australian working rights, ready to be part of our team.
