About our hospital:

Hobart Day Surgery is a purpose-built, multidisciplinary day surgery, specialising in Ophthalmology, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dental, Oral/ Maxillofacial, Urology and IVF. Our hospital combines specialised surgical services, excellent facilities and a team of highly skilled professionals that care for our patients.

As Tasmania's only standalone, multidisciplinary day hospital, we are committed to providing safe and affordable same-day surgery, and an excellent experience for our patients and surgeons. Hobart Day Surgery is a centre of Ophthalmology excellence.

Your opportunity:

As a Nurse Unit Manager, you are the heartbeat of our team, bringing our mission of the best possible care to life. You'll support the smooth running of our facility by driving clinical excellence and patient safety at every stage of their journey. Through close collaboration with our multidisciplinary team, you'll ensure outcomes that are positive, reliable and centred on the person in front of you.

The Nurse Unit Manager role is on a full time basis.

With respect and collaboration, you will:

• Drive quality and safety improvement: Support the GM/ DON with quality and safety activities, helping embed continuous improvement, evidence-based and safe practice and clinical excellence across the hospital.
• Support operational performance: Assist the GM/ DON with resources, rostering, procurement, administration, quality and safety activities.
• Educate, mentor and lead: Provide guidance, coaching and leadership to the team.
• Keep patient safety central: Maintain clear communication with the team and respond proactively to risks, changes or concerns.
• Build strong stakeholder relationships: Develop positive working relationships with Visiting Medical Officers, patients, colleagues and other key stakeholders.
• Champion patient-centred care: Help create a culture of excellence where patients receive consistent, compassionate care throughout their journey.

Who we're looking for:

You are a compassionate and dedicated professional who pairs clinical excellence with a genuinely warm, patient-first approach. You thrive in a collaborative, down to earth environment and take real pride in the high standard of care you provide.

To succeed in this role, you will have:

• Strong Perioperative experience in a leadership role
• Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse.
• Postgraduate qualifications relevant to the role, or a commitment to working towards them.
• A demonstrated commitment to education, mentoring and clinical leadership.
• Proven ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with patients, doctors, colleagues and key stakeholders.
• Strong organisational, time management, leadership and communication skills.
• Strong experience supporting quality improvement, work health and safety, infection prevention and control, operational and accreditation activities
• Advanced clinical and technical capability, supported by sound problem-solving skills.

We'd love it if you also had:

• Experience in our hospital's specialties.
• Experience in a fast-paced day or short-stay hospital environment.
