About the role

A private surgical and rehabilitation hospital in Sydney needs full-time Registered Surgical Nurses who bring surgical or rehabilitation experience to its wards. With 90 beds and patients drawn largely from orthopaedic, musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiac caseloads, the employer wants nurses who are enthusiastic and dedicated.

The employer has said it will consider sponsorship. Because it also lists full working rights as essential, the role is open to applicants already in Australia who hold those rights.

Beyond hands-on care, the hospital is looking for nurses who document accurately for regulatory purposes, communicate well with doctors, allied health professionals, patients and relatives, and step up as leaders. Its rehabilitation programs serve both inpatients and outpatients, next to a dedicated surgical ward.

Your English CV should open with your current AHPRA registration, followed by the hospitals you have worked in and the surgical or rehabilitation wards behind your experience. Build a surgical ward nursing CV with Build AI CV so the employer sees the match at a glance.
