Address- Northern Adelaide Local Health Network – Modbury Hospital – Modbury
- Salary: $84,870 - $107,279 p.a. (pro rata) – RN2C - Ongoing Part-Time – working 20 hours per week
About the Role:
We are seeking an enthusiastic, passionate and energetic Clinical Nurse to join our Care Awaiting Placement Program (CAP). CAP provides care for Older People within the NALHN catchment area in an off site Residential Aged Care Facility. CAP is designed as an acuity step down from the hospital environment and provides a valuable alternative to ward-based hospital care for consumers who are considered fit for discharge but are unable to return home at the current time. Many consumers who access CAP are awaiting the securing of a respite or permanent bed or are awaiting transition to a restorative program to best suit their after hospital needs.
Staff within the CAP Program work collaboratively with the Residential Aged Care Facility staff and assist in care coordination and discharge planning. Our service is committed to providing optimal outcomes that supports consumer choice and celebrates individuality in ageing. We deliver innovative, holistic, person-centred care to a diverse group of Geriatric clients. We promote ageing with dignity, respect and compassion through valuing patients time, supportive communication and shared decision making.
The autonomous role of Clinical Nurse provides opportunity for further learning and upskilling into other senior nursing roles such as Geriatric Nurse Consultant. Successful applicants will also have the opportunity to experience working in new community based Geriatric Services that are due to launch within NALHN later in 2024.
Please note this vacancy is on a set roster working Thursday and Friday each week with the remaining day each fortnight by negotiation.
To be eligible for this position, you must be registered or eligible for registration as a Nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia and hold, or be eligible to hold, a current practicing certificate.
The South Australian public sector promotes diversity and flexible ways of working including part-time. Applicants are encouraged to discuss the flexible working arrangements for this role.
Appointment will be subject to a satisfactory Criminal History Check.
