Job description

• This premier Private Hospital, a contemporary 488-bed facility located just north of the Sydney CBD, is seeking an experienced Scrub Scout Registered Nurse to join its world-class Interventional Suite. The practice environment is at the cutting edge of surgical medicine, featuring 14 state-of-the-art operating theatres—including specialized hybrid and cardiothoracic theatres—alongside two Cardiac Catheter Labs and four procedure rooms. Supporting both adult and pediatric patients for planned and unplanned procedures, the facility is equipped with a 41-bed recovery unit and a high-tech sterilizing services department. The hospital utilizes a unique model of care that integrates both public and private billing, ensuring a diverse and high-volume clinical case mix.

  The team composition is a high-functioning multidisciplinary collective of leading clinical specialists and dedicated nursing professionals. To ensure nurses can focus on the technical precision required for perioperative care, the hospital provides robust administrative and nursing support, including dedicated assistance for Chronic Disease Management (CDM) pathways and comprehensive documentation systems. This role grants significant clinical autonomy, allowing the successful candidate to proactively assess perioperative care and make critical decisions to ensure the best possible patient outcomes. For those with leadership ambitions, the position offers clear supervisor opportunities, as the nurse will direct and guide Enrolled Nurses (ENs) and Assistants in Nursing (AINs).

  Professional growth is deeply valued, with extensive CPD support available for those holding or working toward a Post Graduate Certificate in Perioperative Nursing. The hospital encourages staff to explore special interest opportunities within specialized fields like hybrid surgery or interventional cardiology. To support a sustainable "Healthe" work-life balance, the facility offers flexible working arrangements across its seven-day service schedule. Financial and personal benefits are highly competitive, including a salary range of $39.09 – $54.89 per hour, salary packaging via novated leases, and a rewards program that provides discounts on travel, banking, and health insurance. Additionally, staff benefit from a unique bulk-billing service for themselves and their immediate family members.

  The lifestyle benefits of the location are exceptional, situated in a stunning region just 13km from the city center, offering a perfect blend of metropolitan access and coastal relaxation. Staff enjoy premium onsite facilities, including discounted parking, a modern café, and access to the Fitness Passport program. This is an ideal opportunity for a motivated clinician with at least two years of experience to join a culture that values integrity, innovation, and clinical excellence while enjoying the vibrant lifestyle of one of New South Wales' most desirable areas.
