About the Opportunity

Make a meaningful difference through skilled, compassionate nursing care.

Chosen Family is seeking an experienced and compassionate Registered Nurse with wound care expertise to provide ongoing, community-based nursing support to a 24-year-old female participant living in Berkshire Park, NSW.

This is an opportunity to use your clinical knowledge and professional skills to deliver consistent, person-centred wound management while helping a young woman maintain her comfort, dignity and quality of life in her own home.

The participant lives with Stage II Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can cause recurrent abscesses, draining wounds, sinus tract formation and scarring. The condition affects her mobility and ability to independently manage personal care and wound care. During significant flare-ups, she may be bedbound for several days and require additional assistance.





We are looking for a nurse who understands that excellent wound care involves more than clinical technique. It requires patience, careful assessment, consistent documentation, sound clinical judgement and the ability to adapt care to a person's individual physical, sensory and communication needs.

If you are passionate about community nursing and want to build a meaningful, ongoing professional relationship with a participant, this opportunity may be an excellent fit.

At a Glance: Your Nursing Opportunity

- Frequency: Every two days
- Nature of support: Ongoing wound assessment, dressing management and clinical monitoring
- Participant setting: Home-based community nursing
- Commencement: To be confirmed with the successful applicant and subject to clinical readiness

The specific morning start time and commencement date will be confirmed. The ongoing schedule is subject to the participant's clinical care plan and confirmed service arrangements.

Meet the Participant: Understanding Her Individual Needs

The participant has the following diagnosed conditions:

- Hypermobility
- Sensory Processing Disorder

These conditions can influence her communication, sensory experiences, mobility, comfort and ability to participate in personal care.





We are seeking a nurse who can deliver clinically appropriate care while recognising the importance of predictability, respectful communication, consent, privacy and individual choice.

A neurodiversity-affirming and sensory-aware approach is essential. The successful applicant should be comfortable adjusting their communication and care delivery to the participant's needs, particularly during painful or physically challenging flare-ups.

You will be expected to support the participant's autonomy, explain clinical procedures in an accessible manner, respect her preferences and work collaboratively with her treating clinician and broader care team.

Your Clinical Responsibilities

As the Registered Nurse providing this support, you will play an key role in maintaining continuity of care and monitoring the participant's wound health.

Your responsibilities will include:

Wound Assessment and Management

- Conduct appropriate wound assessments and perform dressing changes in accordance with the established clinical wound management plan.
- Monitor wound drainage, surrounding skin integrity and wound progression.
- Identify and respond appropriately to signs of infection, deterioration or other wound-related complications.
- Use prescribed wound dressings, packing materials and consumables in accordance with the treating clinician's instructions and your professional scope of practice.

Clinical Monitoring and Escalation

- Monitor the participant's clinical presentation and record vital signs when clinically indicated.
- Recognise changes in wound condition, pain, general wellbeing or other relevant clinical indicators.
