Clinical Nurse Educator / Consultant – High Intensity Supports
La Vita Care is looking for an experienced senior nurse to work with us in strengthening clinical practice and staff capability for people with complex and high-intensity support needs.
This is a flexible clinical education and practice development role rather than a traditional nursing shift role. It may particularly suit a Clinical Nurse Educator, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Clinical Nurse Consultant or senior RN looking to apply their expertise in a different setting, potentially alongside an existing clinical role.
Key responsibilities
Work with individual clients and their care teams to understand their clinical requirements
Develop clear, practical and client-specific Health Management Plans and worker guidance
Translate complex clinical information into practical day-to-day support
Provide staff education, practical training, coaching and competency support
Contribute to broader clinical governance and continuous practice improvement
About you
You will be an experienced Registered Nurse with strong clinical judgement and an ability to make complex care understandable and practical for others.
Ideally, you will bring:
Current AHPRA registration
Senior experience in acute care, ICU, complex community care and/or disability
Experience in clinical education,



staff development or practice improvement
Experience with enteral feeding/PEG, ventilation/respiratory support and dysphagia/mealtime management
Experience developing clinical plans, staff guidance, training resources or competency tools
A practical and collaborative approach to working with clients, frontline staff and managers
Disability or NDIS high-intensity support experience would be highly regarded, but we are equally interested in experienced clinicians from acute, ICU, respiratory, rehabilitation or other complex-care settings who can bring solid clinical and education capability.
Flexible contract work that can fit alongside an existing clinical role
Apply your clinical expertise beyond traditional direct nursing care
Work closely with our team and have a genuine influence on practice
Bring your experience, approaches and resources to help build sustainable clinical capability
Potential for an ongoing clinical advisory, education and practice development relationship
La Vita Care is a Melbourne disability support provider. We are investing in strengthening our clinical capability, staff development and approach to supporting people with complex and high-intensity needs.
