Job Description

REGISTERED NURSE | Casual Pool | Bracken House, Dubbo

n

Want the flexibility of casual work without feeling like a stranger every time you walk through the door?

n

UPA of NSW is building a directly employed casual team of Registered Nurses across Dubbofor Christmas, Current Year and beyond.

n

These are direct UPA employment opportunities—not agency placements. You won't just be another name filling a shift; you'll be a UPA employee and part of the team from day one.

n

You'll receive a proper UPA induction, ongoing workplace support and the chance to work with familiar residents, teams and homes rather than starting from scratch every shift.

n

It's the flexibility of casual work, with real connection and support—and the potential to move into ongoing or permanent employment when opportunities become available.

n

As a directly employed UPA casual, you'll receive:

n

n
- Flexible shifts matched to your availability where possible
n
- Competitive casual rates, including applicable loadings and penalty rates
n
- Opportunities for extra work throughout Christmas, New Year and beyond
n
- Proper UPA induction, workplace training and ongoing support
n
- The opportunity to return to familiar residents, employees and homes
n
- Access to UPA's Employee Assistance Program and wellbeing support
n
- The chance to be considered for permanent roles when suitable vacancies become available
n
- Meaningful work supporting older people in your community
n

n

ABOUT THE ROLE

Great care is built on trust, consistency and genuine human connection.

As a Registered Nurse, you'll provide high-quality,

- Providing clinical reports and recommendations to support positive resident outcomes
n
- Supporting and supervising care employees to maintain appropriate clinical competencies
n
- Building positive relationships with residents, families and other health professionals
n
- Supporting quality, safety and continuous improvement across the home
n

n

These responsibilities reflect the clinical practice, care planning and employee-supervision requirements of UPA's Registered Nurse position.

n

YOU'LL BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU:

n

n
- Are a Registered Nurse with current AHPRA registration
n
- Hold a Bachelor of Nursing or equivalent qualification
n




- Have at least 12 months' post-registration experience
n
- Have a compassionate and respectful approach to supporting older people

Previous residential aged-care experience, experience with LeeCare and Medsig, and current First Aid & CPR are desirable.
