About the role

Join the dedicated Sexual Health Team at Orange Health Service and make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and communities across the region. Based at Kite Street Community Health Centre, this rewarding role provides expert, patient-centred care to people with reproductive and sexual health needs, including STI, HIV and blood-borne virus prevention, management and education.

As a Clinical Nurse Specialist Grade 2, you will deliver advanced nursing care, comprehensive assessments, health education and advocacy while supporting priority populations and contributing to outreach services throughout the region. Working within a small multidisciplinary sexual health team and the broader community health network, you will provide clinical leadership, mentor colleagues, and help drive excellence in evidence-based practice.

This is an opportunity to work autonomously in a specialised, nurse-led service while being supported by a strong district-wide team. The position is based in Orange with outreach responsibilities and offers a Monday to Friday roster, 8:00am to 4:30pm, promoting a healthy work-life balance.

If you are a passionate and experienced nurse committed to improving sexual health outcomes and delivering high-quality care, we encourage you to apply.
