Registered Nurse - Women's Health Pelvic Pain
Be yourself, because together we make a difference.
At Hunter Primary Care we recognise you, we respect who you are, and what your individuality, skills, experience and talents bring to the team. It’s your journey – grow with us.
This is a genuinely new kind of nursing role. You’ll coordinate nurse-led clinical care for HPC’s Women’s Persistent Pelvic Pain Program – assessment and referrals, leading multidisciplinary Shared Health Appointments, and helping women build the skills and confidence to self-manage a condition that’s too often misunderstood.
You’ll work closely with GPs, allied health colleagues and specialists in a small, supportive team where your clinical judgement and ideas genuinely shape how the program grows. No two days look the same – some are spent in one-on-one e assessments, others facilitating group education sessions or working through case reviews with the wider team.
