Job description

CARE isn’t just in our name – it’s how we work, every day.

Join the Australian HR Awards Employer of Choice Finalist – 100-999 employees!

Cancer Care Associates has an exciting opportunity for experienced Oncology Registered Nurses interested in joining as our first Oncology Registered Travel Nurse.

The role will support continuity of high-quality patient care when sites experience vacancies, periods of leave, increased patient demand, or service growth.

The role is an exciting opportunity for a nurse who enjoys variety, adaptability and working across different clinical environments while remaining part of the CCA team.

About the Opportunity

The Oncology Registered Travel Nurse will be a full-time position, based in Sydney, and will provide clinical support across CCA treatment centres as required.

While the role will have a primary base location, travel to other CCA sites will be an inherent requirement of the position.

The successful nurse will:

• Provide oncology nursing support across multiple CCA locations.
• Assist with planned leave coverage, vacancies and service demands.
• Support continuity of care and consistent clinical standards.
• Work alongside local multidisciplinary teams to deliver exceptional patient outcomes.

To maximise operational efficiency and minimise disruption, travel assignments outside Sydney will generally be:

• Planned for 3-4 consecutive days or longer where possible.
• Scheduled 1-2 months in advance for known leave and workforce requirements.
• Occasionally required at shorter notice to support unforeseen vacancies or operational needs.

In most circumstances, CCA will aim to provide at least 72 hours’ notice for unplanned travel requirements. However, employees should be aware that exceptional circumstances may arise where 24-48 hours’ notice is required.

Who Should Apply?

We are interested in hearing from Oncology Registered Nurses who:

• Enjoy working in different clinical environments.
• Are adaptable and confident working with diverse teams.
• Have a strong commitment to patient-centred oncology care.
• Are comfortable travelling regularly and working across multiple locations.
• Are looking for professional growth and broader exposure across the CCA network.

What this Role Offers

• A competitive compensation package including travel allowance in recognition of the adaptable nature of this role.
• A unique opportunity to contribute across multiple CCA centres.
• Exposure to a broad range of clinical teams, practices and patient populations.
• Enhanced professional development and networking opportunities.
• Travel and accommodation arrangements in accordance with Company policies.
• The opportunity to play a key role in supporting sustainable workforce planning and patient care continuity across the organisation.

What we offer

• 5 weeks annual leave pro-rata.
• Access to professional development opportunities, including monthly Lunch & Learn sessions.
• Join a close-knit, experienced nursing team focused on delivering exceptional patient care.
• Opportunities to contribute to projects that enhance quality, safety and efficiency.
• 24/7 access to our Employee Assistance Program.

Qualifications and Skills
