Clinical Nurse (Aged Care)

Nursing

Posted: 18 Apr 2024

Location: Charleville QLD

Are you an experienced and qualified nurse who is interested in seeking personal and career growth? Most importantly, do you have a genuine passion to support our elderly to age well whilst remaining on the rural and remote land on which they live?

Your oppor­tu­ni­ty

The Clin­i­cal Nurse is respon­si­ble for a port­fo­lio with a focus on clin­i­cal care/​leadership, man­age­ment, edu­ca­tion and/​or research. The clin­i­cal nurse assumes respon­si­bil­i­ty for pro­fes­sion­al lead­er­ship on the ward, ser­vice or unit and applies crit­i­cal think­ing across all the domains. 

Explore your love for nurs­ing, con­nect with peo­ple from dif­fer­ent walks of life, and be the help to our elder­ly com­mu­ni­ty who real­ly need it. This is an oppor­tu­ni­ty for you to edu­cate, sup­port and men­tor our pas­sion­ate rur­al and remote team of nurses. 

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real oppor­tu­ni­ty. Pro­vid­ing health care in the bush is full of chal­lenges, how­ev­er, it remains the most reward­ing of human experiences. 

What we can do for you

Ulti­mate­ly, we pro­vide you a plat­form to leapfrog your career with more oppor­tu­ni­ties to expe­ri­ence a wider scope of prac­tice with less com­pe­ti­tion due to loca­tion and population. 

Nowhere else will you expe­ri­ence the vast diver­si­ty of nurs­ing and career advance­ment oth­er than in rur­al and remote Queensland.
