An exciting opportunity exists for a motivated and compassionate Registered Nurse to join the Transitional Aged Care Unit (TACU) at Nepean Hospital. Our Transitional Aged Care Unit provides an important link between acute hospital care and the community, supporting older people to regain their strength, confidence and independence following an illness, injury or hospital admission.

You will be a caring, enthusiastic and motivated Registered Nurse who is passionate about working with older people and supporting them to maintain or regain their independence. You understand the importance of looking beyond a patient's immediate medical needs and recognising their individual strengths, abilities and potential for recovery. Working in the Transitional Aged Care Unit offers a rewarding opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients and see the difference your nursing care makes in their recovery and everyday lives.

If you are passionate about older people's care, enjoy working as part of a team and want to be part of a service that supports people to regain their independence and return to living life to the fullest, we would love to hear from you.

Be part of a team where every interaction matters and every step towards independence is a success worth celebrating.
