With attractive recruitment and relocation bonuses available, there has never been a better time to make the move to the Northern Rivers and take your career to the next level.

Why Join St Vincent's Private Hospital Lismore?Unlike many major hospitals, we are not a trauma hospital and do not have an Emergency Department.

Our nurses enjoy:
• Planned theatre lists and predictable workflows
• Exposure to advanced and robotic-assisted surgical procedures

• A supportive and cooperative theatre culture

• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and excellence

You'll bring:
• Current registration with AHPRA as a Registered Nurse
• Previous Scrub Scout experience in an acute perioperative environment
• Strong clinical knowledge and attention to detail
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills
• A commitment to delivering outstanding patient-centred care

Experience in robotic surgery is advantageous but not essential. We value enthusiasm, adaptability and a willingness to learn.
What We Offer
• Recruitment and relocation bonuses available*
• Competitive salary and salary packaging benefits
• Access to advanced robotic-assisted surgical technology
