Night Duty - Mental Health Registered/Enrolled Nurse Part-time or Full-time

This is where experienced Mental Health Nurses come to do their most meaningful work.

About Us

South Pacific Private’s mission is ‘To change lives and heal families’ — providing Australians with the most holistic, comprehensive and proven treatment programs for addiction, trauma and mental health.

As a fully accredited, 54-bed private psychiatric hospital and part of Sana Health Group - an Australasian leader in behavioural health services - we bring together some of the region’s leading clinicians in a deeply collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. Our programs are supervised by an expert team of psychiatrists, psychologists, general practitioners, registered nurses, psychotherapists and counsellors.

South Pacific Private recognises the Gayamaygal people as the traditional owners and custodians of the land upon which we work.

Why This Role Stands Out

You’ll work with high-acuity, complex presentations in a setting that values clinical depth, therapeutic connection, and professional autonomy.

This is a role for nurses who are:

- Confident in their mental health expertise
- Drawn to trauma-informed, recovery-focused care
- Ready to step into a high-trust, high-impact clinical environment

The Opportunity

We are seeking Mental Health Registered/Enrolled Nurses to join our specialist team. We have positions available for evening shifts (12 hours) on a part-time or full-time basis — we’re open to finding the right arrangement for the right candidate.

You will play a key role in delivering intensive, evidence-based care across:

- Inpatient withdrawal and detox programs
- Acute psychiatric presentations
- Trauma and addiction recovery pathways

Working alongside psychiatrists, psychologists, GPs, psychotherapists and counsellors, you will:

- Conduct comprehensive mental health and risk assessments




- Develop and implement complex care plans
- Deliver therapeutic, trauma-informed nursing care
- Support patients through highly vulnerable and transformative stages of recovery

What We’re Looking For

- Current AHPRA registration as a Registered/Enrolled Nurse
- Proven ability to manage complex mental health presentations
- Solid therapeutic communication and professional boundary skills
- Experience working within multidisciplinary teams
- National Police Check (or willingness to obtain)
- Availability for evenings (12-hour shifts)

Highly Regarded

What You’ll Gain

- Work at the top of your scope in a highly specialised clinical environment
- Be part of a genuinely collaborative multidisciplinary team
- Access ongoing professional development in mental health and trauma care
- Practice in a purpose-driven organisation with real impact
- Enjoy a stunning beachside location (Curl Curl, Northern Beaches)
- Free onsite parking, wellbeing support and Employee Assistance Program

Our Values

We are deeply committed to diversity, equity and inclusion — creating a safe, respectful and affirming workplace for all staff, including LGBTQIA+ communities. We ask our staff to be well-informed and sensitive to the lived experience of LGBTQIA+ people, and to understand the complexities and challenges they face when accessing services and in the workplace.

South Pacific Private is committed to working with you to better understand the diverse needs and strengths of each individual. We value and embrace diversity across race, culture, ethnicity, indigenous status, gender identity, class, sexual orientation, religious belief and physical ability.

Ready to Step Into a Role That Matters?

If you are an experienced Mental Health Nurse looking for more than just another job — a role where your expertise is valued, your voice matters, and your work creates real change — we want to hear from you.
