AddressAt Bupa, we deliver a refreshingly different, person-first commitment to care. For many RNs it promises more variety, autonomy and a welcome relief from fast-paced acute hospital and typical aged care environments. Here, you have the time to build relationships with your residents and see over time the impact on their lives of your efforts. There’s nothing more enriching than being considered one of the extended family, not just the medicine giver. And it’s Bupa’s job to ensure we have everything in place to give you the confidence to do exactly that.
Working in such a complex and specialised area brings a huge variety of opportunities. You’ll be encouraged to develop your clinical expertise while building deeper relationships with residents and their families. You’re sure to gain more satisfaction from working alongside colleagues who have the same passion.
