Main duties of the job

You will be a registered staff nurse with excellent assessment, planning, and evaluation skills to ensure that patient care is timely and appropriate.

You will have the opportunity to work closely with patients, families, and a multidisciplinary team to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Your responsibilities will include monitoring patients, administering medications, coordinating care plans, and providing support to families and carers overnight during crisis situations such as blocked catheters and palliative care support.

This is a fast-paced role requiring safe and effective clinical decision-making, so you must be able to think on your feet, problem-solve issues that arise overnight, and juggle conflicting priorities. You must be able to motivate others in challenging times and utilise available resources effectively.
