Care Ambassador | Registered Nurse or Enrolled Nurse Ready for a nursing role that's a little different?

Nurse Next Door Wagga Wagga is looking for a

to join our Leadership Team as a
Care Ambassador .

You’ll combine your clinical skills with care coordination, client relationships, clinical oversight, mentoring and supporting our Care Team. You’ll have the prospect to influence how care is delivered while still maintaining meaningful contact with the people we support.
You’ll work primarily weekdays with
30 hours across Tuesday to Friday , based from our Wagga Wagga office with regular visits to clients in the community.

Supporting the wider leadership team with day-to-day service coordination when required
Participating in a shared, rostered on‑call rotation
What we’re looking for Above everything else, we’re looking for someone who
