About The Role

Jara is a 30-bed Older Persons Mental Health inpatient unit located at Concord Centre for Mental Health. We provide specialised assessment, treatment and recovery-focused care for older people experiencing acute mental illness, alongside the complexities of ageing, physical health conditions, and cognitive changes.

Our team is committed to delivering safe, compassionate, and person-centred care that recognises the unique strengths, life experiences, and goals of every consumer.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a service where clinical excellence, compassion and meaningful therapeutic relationships are at the heart of everything we do.



We are looking for nurses who are adaptable, reflective practitioners and who are committed to providing respectful, culturally safe, and person-centred care for older people.
