Form of workYour role:
You should already be familiar with what it takes to be a Peri-Operative Nurse—caring for patients before, during and after a surgery. What you may not know is how this role in the Army Reserve will challenge you by placing you in unique working environments.
From assessing, planning and implementing nursing care, to working in consultation with other health professionals and members of health teams—these are all tasks you’ll feel familiar with but with an exciting Army twist.
This is an excellent opportunity for specialist nurses passionate about their skills to give back to their country and work alongside expert health professionals from across Australia in the Army Reserve.
Life in the Army Reserve:
Thousands of men and women enjoy part-time roles with the Army Reserve, operating alongside full-time Army personnel. The only difference is that your commitment is flexible.
Initial training length will vary based on your chosen role, after which you will normally be expected to serve between 20 and 100 days a year. This could involve an evening each week and one weekend a month, and even extended periods away.
We do our best to make sure this fits in with your work and family commitments; and deployments are voluntary so if you choose to stay local, there are plenty of ways to make a difference closer to home. And with no minimum period of service, you can leave the Army Reserve whenever you like.
Wage:
The pay you receive in the Army Reserve goes straight into your pocket with no deductions for tax, and it increases as you gain seniority and experience.
On completion of military training your rate be: $233/day tax-free.
