Perioperative Nurse Educator | Brisbane North QLD | Permanent, Part Time 60hrs/fortnight or Full Time
Permanent, Part Time 60 hours per fortnight or Full Time
Up to $***** per hour depending on experience
Our client is looking to hire a Perioperative Nurse Educator to develop the nursing team across all perioperative areas of the hospital.
About the Facility
A private day hospital in Brisbane's northern suburbs, part of a national day hospitals group operating sites across every mainland state and territory. The group has recently introduced a national perioperative education programme for its nursing teams, aligned to ACORN, ACPAN and NSQHS Standards, with a pathway toward speciality certification.
The Role
You will facilitate the professional development of nursing staff across the perioperative areas of the hospital, including the operating suite, the day surgery unit, pre-admission and sterilising services. You will report through the Nurse Unit Manager or Department Coordinator to the CEO and Director of Nursing.
The role is available two ways. Permanent part time at 60 hours per fortnight, or permanent full time. The full time version carries a clinical component, so this is not a desk-based education post. You would continue to work in theatre alongside the team you are developing.
Your responsibilities will include:
Facilitating the professional development of nursing staff across all perioperative areas
Orientating new staff and supporting them through to independent practice
Precepting across the perioperative areas rather than a single speciality




Developing and running transition to practice programmes for nurses new to perioperative nursing
Delivering education sessions and in-service training
Assessing competency and maintaining education and competency records
Monitoring compliance with mandatory education requirements
Supporting and mentoring postgraduate students on placement
Working alongside the group's national perioperative education programme
Contributing to accreditation, quality and safety programmes
Working clinically in theatre as part of the role
What You Will Need
Current unrestricted AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse
Perioperative experience across more than one area, sufficient to precept broadly
Demonstrated experience precepting, orientating or teaching perioperative nursing staff
Experience at Clinical Nurse level or equivalent
Working knowledge of the ACORN Standards and how they apply to practice and competency
Current Basic Life Support
Able to meet workforce immunisation requirements
Unrestricted right to work in Australia
What Is On Offer
Up to $***** per hour depending on experience, paid at Clinical Nurse level under the Nurses' Award ****
Permanent part time at 60 hours per fortnight, or permanent full time
A clinical component, so you keep your hands in theatre rather than moving away from practice
Access to a national perioperative education programme with a pathway to speciality certification
Scope across all perioperative areas rather than a single speciality
Day surgery hours
A group with sites across Australia, so internal movement is possible
Chermside, with the Westfield centre, bus interchange and the Gympie Road corridor on the doorstep
