opportunity to be part of a dedicated team focused on delivering
higher levels of support to improve long-term health and
educational outcomes for vulnerable children and communities.
As a Clinical Nurse, you will also play a key role in supporting
workforce capability, including:
- Acting as a preceptor, mentoring new staff and graduates
while building clinical skills, decision-making, and
confidence
- Facilitating staff development and ongoing learning
- Supervising and supporting nursing students, Registered
Nurses, and Enrolled Nurses
If you are a passionate nurse with experience working with
children and adolescents, a collaborative approach, and a
commitment to holistic, community-focused care, we encourage you to
apply.
