We have two opportunities available, one at Lake Macquarie Community OPMHS is based at Charlestown Health Campus and provides specialist community mental health care across the Lake Macquarie area.

You’ll work collaboratively with consumers, families and carers, GPs, residential aged care facilities and other health and community services. Our teams are committed to person-centred, recovery-oriented care, supporting older people to remain well and independent within their own homes and communities wherever possible.

What We Can Offer

This is an opportunity to develop specialist expertise at the intersection of mental health nursing, older persons care and complex community practice.

You’ll enjoy:

• A varied role with significant professional autonomy.
• Community-based work across homes, residential aged care and other settings.

• Access to fleet vehicles for approved community work.
