Our client is seeking an experienced AHPRA-registered Registered Nurse to lead a Supported Independent Living (SIL) home in South Hedland.

This is a highly autonomous and hands on leadership role where you will combine clinical care, staff leadership, compliance oversight and day-to-day operational management. Reporting to the Service Delivery Lead, you will take ownership of one SIL house supporting three participants while providing leadership and guidance to a dedicated team of Support Workers.

- Provide clinical leadership and nursing oversight
- Undertake participant assessments and monitor health outcomes
- Perform and oversee tracheostomy care and other clinical supports
- Lead medication governance and clinical risk management
- Supervise, coach and mentor Support Workers

Why This Role Stands Out Unlike many Clinical Team Leader positions, this role offers the opportunity to genuinely own and lead a service. You will have the autonomy to manage daily operations, guide your team, oversee participant outcomes and utilise your nursing skills in a practical, meaningful way.

This position would suit an experienced RN from disability, community nursing, aged care or complex care backgrounds who is looking for a rewarding regional opportunity and enjoys being actively involved in participant care.
