About the role
We're a medical service that works inside aged care homes. Our GP looks after residents on site, and we're looking for an Enrolled Nurse to work alongside them two days a week. This isn't floor nursing.
You won't be doing medication rounds or covering a wing. Your day is a planned list of residents to assess, you sit with them, do the checks, write it up, and hand it to the doctor. You'll be working independently to a clear weekly schedule, with our GP in Charge for clinical direction and the facility's registered nurses on site alongside you.
Every assessment goes to the doctor for review.
Key responsibilities
- Health checks for residents (mostly over 75) — history, observations, weight, how they're managing day to day
- Getting care plan paperwork ready for the GP to review and sign off
- ECGs, lung function tests and leg/arm blood pressure comparisons — we'll train you on the equipment if you haven't used it
- Checking who's due for vaccinations, and giving them with the GP there
- Ear checks and ear cleaning, following our protocol
- Pulling together background from resident files,
hospital letters and previous reports for recent admissions
- Sitting in on case conferences with the GP, physio, podiatrist and other allied health as needed
