The organisation is a source of primary and preventive care for our community members who are at risk of poor health outcomes, and experience ACUTE HEALTH disparities. SCHS understands the influence of the Social Determinants of Health upon health inequities experienced by community members and work with consumers and community members, to structure their care around the context in which they live and work.
Our Acute Health team is currently seeking suitably qualified and experienced REGISTERED NURSEs who are keen to explore ongoing opportunities to support caring for community clients within the district nursing, community palliative care and continence teams.

- You will use a problem solving approach involving assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation in the provision of quality nursing care and act as a client advocate to assist with achieving positive health outcomes.
- You will liaise closely with community service providers to coordinate client care.
To be considered for this position, you must hold current registration with AHPRA as a Registered Nurse with experience in an acute or community setting.
