About the role
An exciting opportunity exists for a Registered Nurse or Enrolled Nurse at Toowoomba Aged Care Service. Working closely with the Care Manager and Care Coordinator as well as allied health professionals, you will carry out contemporary nursing practices through assessing, planning, and evaluating resident care.
Your primary focus will be recognising and assessing resident needs and assisting them with services that enrich their daily living. In order to ensure that resident’s individual care plan requirements are met, you will also provide comprehensive guidance to care staff. Some of the residents you will look after for years to come and the relationships you build with them and their families will be both meaningful and significant.
We are currently seeking two Registered Nurses, one permanent part-time and one casual, and a casual Enrolled Nurse. If you are looking for a diverse and rewarding role that has a positive impact on the lives of seniors, this might be the right opportunity for you.
About you
You are a dedicated and experienced clinician often commended on your problem solving, decision making and negotiation skills. With the ability to prioritise and manage workloads according to resident’s needs, you are also able to work independently or as part of a multi-disciplined work team.
You can effectively communicate at all levels enabling you to achieve best nursing practices in accordance with legislation, common law and quality improvement. Understanding the importance of providing quality care to our residents, you feel rewarded by creating a genuine impact.
Your experience and qualifications for the role should include:
- A current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse or Enrolled Nurse with experience in clinical nursing practices;
- Demonstrated comprehensive clinical experience within Aged Care and understanding of the ageing process and age related health issues is desirable;
- Knowledge and ability to apply the Aged Care Funding Instrument (ACFI) and regulatory requirements for aged care facilities;
- Availability to work a variety of shifts, including morning, evening and night shifts;
- Intermediate computer skills.
Importantly, you will be someone who closely aligns with our organisational values of: modelling unconditional love; behaving with integrity; and being good stewards.
