Job description

• This premier Private Hospital, a contemporary 488-bed facility located just north of the Sydney CBD, is seeking a specialized Scrub Scout Registered Nurse to join its world-class Interventional Suite. The practice environment is state-of-the-art, featuring 14 operating theatres—including dedicated hybrid and cardiothoracic theatres—as well as two Cardiac Catheter Labs and four procedure rooms. The facility caters to both adult and pediatric patients for planned and unplanned surgeries, supported by a 41-bed recovery unit and a high-tech Sterilising Services Department. Utilizing a mix of public and private billing, the hospital provides a sophisticated clinical setting where evidence-based perioperative care is the standard.

  The team composition is a high-functioning multidisciplinary collective of leading surgeons, anaesthetists, and specialized nursing staff. To ensure nurses can focus on the safe treatment of patients, the hospital provides comprehensive administrative and nursing support, including dedicated assistance for Chronic Disease Management (CDM) pathways and complex perioperative documentation. This role offers significant clinical autonomy, empowering the successful candidate to proactively assess care and make sound clinical decisions during vascular procedures. For those looking to advance, there are clear supervisor opportunities, as the role involves guiding and directing Enrolled Nurses (ENs) and Assistants in Nursing (AINs). Nurses are also encouraged to explore special interest opportunities within the hybrid theatre and interventional cardiology spaces.

  Professional development is a core pillar of the hospital’s culture, with robust CPD support available for those holding or working toward a Post Graduate Certificate in Perioperative Nursing. To facilitate a sustainable career, the hospital offers flexible working arrangements within its seven-day service operation. Financial and personal benefits are extensive, featuring a competitive 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. Staff also benefit from a unique bulk-billing service for themselves and their immediate family members, alongside access to wellness programs like Fitness Passport and an Employee Assistance Program.

  The lifestyle benefits of the location are exceptional, situated in a vibrant region known for its lush surroundings and proximity to world-class beaches. The hospital provides premium staff facilities, including discounted onsite parking and a modern café, all while being only 13km from the heart of the city. This position offers a rare opportunity to join a "people-first" organization that values integrity and clinical excellence, providing a perfect balance between a high-stakes surgical career and the relaxed, outdoor lifestyle of Sydney’s northern reaches.
