What we are looking for
This role will suit an experienced nursing leader who is comfortable leading people, making decisions and being accountable for outcomes.
We are not simply looking for the most clinically experienced candidate.
We are looking for someone who can build a capable nursing team, establish explicit expectations, improve consistency and help us prepare for the next stage of organisational growth.
Primary care experience will be highly regarded, but we will consider exceptional nursing leaders from other healthcare environments who can demonstrate strong management capability and the ability to quickly understand and adapt to the general practice environment.

Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse.
Significant post-registration nursing experience.
Demonstrated experience leading and managing nursing teams.

What we offer
A generous salary commensurate with experience.
Senior nursing leadership role across a growing multi-site organisation.
Genuine opportunity to influence and improve the nursing function.
Significant involvement in the development of our new Drouin medical centre.
Supportive leadership structure .
Opportunity to build and develop a high-performing nursing team.
Long-term career opportunity within a growing regional healthcare organisation.
Relocation assistance may be considered for the right candidate.
Why join us?
We are at an important point in our growth.
Our organisation has established a strong regional healthcare presence, but our next phase will require stronger systems, leadership and workforce capability.
This role provides an opportunity for an experienced nursing leader to make a genuine difference, rather than simply maintain an existing model.
If you are looking for a role where you can lead people, improve systems and help shape the nursing function of a growing healthcare organisation, we would like to hear from you.
