Use your nursing experience to strengthen an entire workforce
Are you an experienced Registered Nurse who is passionate about education, clinical leadership and improving the quality and safety of care?
Activated Concepts is seeking a
Clinical Lead – Nursing, Education & Governance
to provide organisation-wide nursing leadership across our disability and aged care services.
This is not primarily a shift-based or direct-care nursing position.
The predominant focus is on:
Training and workforce capability
Clinical advice and staff support
Clinical governance and quality improvement
Risk and incident oversight
Care-plan and documentation review
Supporting safe and contemporary practice across our services
The position may suit an experienced Nurse Educator, Clinical Nurse Consultant, Clinical Governance Lead or senior Registered Nurse seeking a flexible role where their expertise can influence practice across multiple teams.
About the role
Working alongside our service leaders, governance team and Managing Director, you will help ensure our staff are supported to provide safe, person-centred and clinically appropriate care.
You will provide nursing leadership across disability and aged care programs, including NDIS supports, community-based services and our developing aged care service streams.
Your responsibilities will include:
Designing and delivering practical nursing, health, risk and compliance training
Supporting the induction, competency and ongoing development of nurses and frontline support staff
Providing clinical guidance, mentoring and reflective practice support
Facilitating clinical meetings, case discussions and multidisciplinary reviews
Providing senior nursing input into complex participant needs and clinical decision-making
Reviewing clinical care plans, medical management plans and other health-related documentation
Supporting staff to develop safe, person-centred and least-intrusive approaches to care
Contributing to clinical incident reviews, root cause analysis and corrective actions
Supporting clinical audits, documentation reviews and continuous improvement activities
Identifying and escalating clinical risks to service and governance leaders
Contributing nursing expertise to clinical governance, quality, risk and leadership meetings
Assisting with the development and review of clinical policies, procedures, tools and practice resources
Working with The Clinical College to develop and deliver internal and external training
Liaising with GPs, hospitals, allied health professionals and external nursing providers when required




There may be some direct participant and family consultation where senior nursing input is needed.
However, the role's principal purpose is to strengthen staff capability, clinical oversight and organisational systems—not to carry a routine nursing caseload.
A flexible opportunity
We are open to discussing either a
permanent part-time or casual arrangement
with the right person.
The position may suit someone seeking:
Regular part-time hours
A flexible casual clinical leadership role
A role alongside existing education, consulting or nursing commitments
An opportunity to move from predominantly direct care into education and governance
A pathway to contribute to future training programs through The Clinical College
Some regular availability will be important to support scheduled training, governance meetings, staff consultation and continuity across our services.
About you
You are an experienced and approachable Registered Nurse who can translate clinical knowledge into practical guidance for staff.
You are comfortable working across different service environments and can balance strong clinical standards with a supportive, respectful and solutions-focused approach.
You will bring:
A Bachelor of Nursing or equivalent qualification
Current registration with AHPRA as a Registered Nurse
At least five years of post-registration nursing experience
Experience in aged care, disability, community nursing, mental health or related services
Experience in a clinical leadership, education, advisory or senior nursing position
Knowledge of clinical governance, risk management, incident review and quality improvement
Experience reviewing clinical documentation, care plans and health-related support arrangements
Strong written communication and clinical documentation skills
Confidence facilitating training, meetings and skilled discussions
The ability to provide clear, evidence-informed advice to staff and organisational leaders
A strong commitment to person-centred, trauma-informed and dignity-driven care
Training and education experience
A
Certificate IV in Training and Assessment—TAE***** or equivalent—is highly desirable
.
We are particularly interested in applicants who have experience in:
Nursing or clinical education
Staff competency assessment
Developing training content and resources
Clinical coaching or professional supervision
Delivering education to multidisciplinary or frontline workforces




Supporting accredited or non-accredited training
Postgraduate qualifications in clinical education, aged care, disability, leadership, governance or quality improvement will also be highly regarded.
