Liverpool
Chosen Family fosters a community-centric ecosystem that embraces diversity, flexibility, and enrichment for all. We continuously reimagine how our services can create platforms for equality, inclusion, and belonging. Committed to a culture of acceptance, we ensure that everyone is welcomed and valued.
Recognising the interconnectedness of our humanity, we strive to empower individuals to live independently. By honouring each person’s unique identity and experiences, we celebrate and uplift one another in return.
About the Opportunity
Chosen Family is currently building a talent pool of experienced Registered Nurses in Liverpool and surrounding South-West Sydney areas for future nursing support opportunities.
This is not an immediate vacancy. Rather, we are proactively connecting with qualified and experienced nurses so that we can identify suitable professionals when nursing support opportunities become available within our growing NDIS community.
Future opportunities may involve providing person-centred, disability-related nursing support in participants’ homes and community settings, working alongside participants, families, support workers, Support Coordinators, allied health professionals and other members of the participant’s care team.
Depending on participant needs and your scope of practice, opportunities may include ongoing nursing support as well as more specialised or complex care.
Proactively Complete Your Nurse Profile
To help us understand your experience, qualifications, clinical capabilities and preferred areas of practice, we are giving nurses the opportunity to proactively complete their professional profile before applying for a specific nursing opportunity.
You can complete our Nurse Profile Form here:
https://supportworker.chosen.family/nurse-form
Completing the profile does not guarantee an engagement or placement. It simply allows us to better understand your background and contact you when an opportunity arises that may align with your experience, availability, location, and clinical capabilities.
What We Are Looking For
We are seeking compassionate, reliable, and clinically capable Registered Nurses who are interested in providing high-quality nursing support to people living with disability.

You do not need experience in every area listed above. We are interested in understanding your individual clinical background and the areas in which you are competent and confident to practise.
