Job Description

An exceptional healthcare facility situated on the stunning Central Coast of New South Wales is seeking dedicated nursing professionals for permanent part-time and casual positions across its Perioperative Department. Opportunities are available for Registered Nurses, Endorsed Enrolled Nurses, and Assistants in Nursing (AIN) within Operating Theatres, the Post Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU), and the Day Surgery Unit (DSU).

Remuneration for these roles aligns with industry standards, offering competitive hourly pay rates based on clinical classification and experience. Applications close on Tuesday, 5 September 2026, offering a clear window for qualified applicants to secure a versatile position within an expanding healthcare team. Operating as a established 132-bed private hospital—which features four modern operating theatres alongside the region's largest psychiatric unit—the facility provides a broad array of clinical services, including orthopaedics, general surgery, endoscopy, vascular, plastic surgery, and both adult and paediatric care.

Applicants should hold relevant AHPRA registration or AIN certification, possess strong communication skills, and ideally bring at least two years of specialized clinical experience in theatre, recovery, or day surgery settings.
