Enabling Pathways is seeking a skilled and compassionate Clinical Care Coordinator - Registered Nurse to strengthen clinical oversight across our disability support services in Cairns.

This is an opportunity to combine your nursing knowledge with staff training, clinical quality assurance and hands-on support for participants with complex health and care needs.
