Job Description

Perioperative Nurse Educator | Brisbane North QLD | Permanent, Part Time 60hrs/fortnight or Full Time

n

Permanent, Part Time 60 hours per fortnight or Full Time

n

Up to $58.19 per hour depending on experience

n

Our client is looking to hire a Perioperative Nurse Educator to develop the nursing team across all perioperative areas of the hospital.

n

About the Facility

n

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.

n

The Role

n

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.

n

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.

n

Your responsibilities will include:

n

n
- Facilitating the professional development of nursing staff across all perioperative areas
n
- Orientating new staff and supporting them through to independent practice
n
- Precepting across the perioperative areas rather than a single speciality
n
- Developing and running transition to practice programmes for nurses current to perioperative nursing
n




- Delivering education sessions and in-service training
n
- Assessing competency and maintaining education and competency records
n
- Monitoring compliance with mandatory education requirements
n
- Supporting and mentoring postgraduate students on placement
n
- Working alongside the group's national perioperative education programme
n
- Contributing to accreditation, quality and safety programmes
n
- Working clinically in theatre as part of the role
n

n

What You Will Need

n

n
- Current unrestricted AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse
n
- Perioperative experience across more than one area, sufficient to precept broadly
n
- Demonstrated experience precepting, orientating or teaching perioperative nursing staff
n
- Experience at Clinical Nurse level or equivalent
n
- Working knowledge of the ACORN Standards and how they apply to practice and competency
n
- Current Basic Life Support
n
- Able to meet workforce immunisation requirements
n
- Unrestricted right to work in Australia
n

n

What Is On Offer

n

n
- Up to $58.19 per hour depending on experience, paid at Clinical Nurse level under the Nurses' Award 2010
n
- Permanent part time at 60 hours per fortnight, or permanent full time
n
- A clinical component, so you keep your hands in theatre rather than moving away from practice
n
- Access to a national perioperative education programme with a pathway to speciality certification
n
- Scope across all perioperative areas rather than a single speciality
n
- Day surgery hours
n
- A group with sites across Australia, so internal movement is possible
n
- Chermside, with the Westfield centre, bus interchange and the Gympie Road corridor on the doorstep
