About Us

Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District (NBMLHD) is an exceptional workplace to advance your career while enhancing your skills and expertise. As a recognised leader in the healthcare industry, we deliver a comprehensive range of public health services across the Nepean, Blue Mountains, and Lithgow Regions.

The Primary Care and Community Health Unit consists of 9 centres that provide a range of services for children, young people and their families, adults, older people and their carers. Our services range from health promotion, prevention and early detection through to assessment, treatment and continuing care. Our staff work in partnership with schools, GPs, hospitals, non-government agencies and other organisations to provide care across our centres, in people's homes, other community venues as well as virtual care (telehealth).

Are you an experienced and passionate Registered Nurse looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in community health? We are seeking a Clinical Nurse Specialist Grade 2 (CNS2) to join our Community Health team, providing expert clinical leadership and delivering high-quality, client-centred care to people within their homes and communities.

In this leadership role, you will provide clinical guidance, support, education, and mentorship to Registered Nurses and Enrolled Nurses, fostering excellence in nursing practice and strengthening the delivery of community-based care. You will be responsible for assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating care in partnership with clients, their families and carers, General Practitioners, specialists, and other healthcare providers. Your practice will be underpinned by evidence-based guidelines and a commitment to achieving the best possible health outcomes for the community.





A key focus of the role is supporting people with chronic and complex conditions to manage their health effectively and remain safely at home. Through collaboration, education, and proactive care planning, you will contribute to strategies that reduce avoidable hospital presentations and enhance the quality of life for clients and their families. You will also provide specialist advice and education to nursing staff, allied health professionals, general practitioners, clients, and carers, ensuring coordinated and holistic care across the healthcare continuum.

This is an exciting opportunity for a clinician who enjoys working autonomously while leading and supporting others in a dynamic community setting. You will bring highly developed clinical assessment skills, a strong commitment to person-centred care, and a passion for improving health outcomes through collaboration, innovation, and professional leadership.

If you are an experienced nurse leader who is passionate about delivering high-quality community healthcare and making a difference in people's lives, we would love to hear from you.
