Looking to grow your nursing career in a supportive aged care environment?

Why join our team?

• Education support available five days a week to help you build confidence and develop your clinical skills.
• A welcoming and supportive team environment where junior nurses are encouraged to apply.
• Opportunities to grow your career and develop your skills in aged care and palliative care nursing.
• A unit currently undergoing significant renovations to enhance staff wellbeing and improve patient outcomes.

What you'll bring

• Current registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) as an Enrolled Nurse.

If you have a positive attitude, a compassionate approach and a genuine passion for caring for older people, we'd love to hear from you!
