for Permanent Full Time, Permanent Part Time, Fixed Term Full Time,
and Fixed Term Part Time appointments with the possibility of
extension(s) and/or permanency.
Position Profile: Are you
a dedicated Registered Nurse with a passion for child and
adolescent health, seeking a deeply meaningful role supporting
Aboriginal children and families? This rewarding opportunity in the
Perth Metropolitan area (North and South regions) offers the
stability of family-friendly hours (Monday-Friday, 8 am-4 pm),
allowing you to step away from shift work. Join a supportive,
multidisciplinary team committed to culturally responsive care and
play an essential part in promoting healthy development and
community wellbeing.
Your clinical skills and
cultural sensitivity are vital in delivering holistic, free
services focused on prevention and early intervention. You will be
an essential resource for families, providing practical,
evidence-based advice on child health, development (including
checks on growth, nutrition, immunisations), feeding, sleep, and
behaviour, while also supporting parental wellbeing. Working
collaboratively alongside Aboriginal Health Workers, Liaison
Officers, and other professionals, you'll provide care in homes and
clinics, ensuring families feel welcomed, secure, and connected to
community resources.
Make a tangible and lasting
impact by contributing your expertise to shape healthier, happier
futures for Aboriginal children and empower their families. This
role is about more than just healthcare; it's about celebrating the
strengths of Aboriginal communities and delivering care that
respects cultural diversity. If you are ready to make a profound
difference in a supportive, family-centred environment, apply now
to join this vital service.
