Looking for a nursing role with real variety, where no two days are the same?

At Burnie Brae, that’s what you’ll get.

We’re looking for an experienced and compassionate Registered Nurse to join our Support at Home team. This role has three parts. You’ll deliver hands-on community nursing care, step in as a Care Partner during leave to keep client care continuous, and coordinate our nursing team’s scheduling, escalations and day-to-day workflow.

Based at our Chermside office, you’ll support older people in their own homes so they can stay safe, independent and connected in the place they most want to be. If you’re a confident clinician who also enjoys keeping a team running smoothly, this role is for you.

Why Burnie Brae?

At Burnie Brae, we know great care starts with great people. That’s why we’ve created an environment where our team feels supported, valued and empowered to do their best work every day.

As part of our Support at Home team, you’ll enjoy:

- A diverse role that blends clinical care, care coordination and nursing leadership
- Diverse and rewarding work across restorative care, chronic disease management and end-of-life care
- The chance to build trusted relationships with clients, families and a collaborative multidisciplinary team
- Salary packaging of up to $15,900, plus an additional $2,650 for meals and entertainment
- 17.5% annual leave loading
- Access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Staff discounts across Burnie Brae services, health insurance and travel
- Discounted gym memberships, physiotherapy and massage services
- Blue Light Card savings on retail and everyday expenses
- Recognition and reward programs that celebrate your contribution
- Support for your ongoing professional development
- The opportunity to help shape the future of community aged care through Australia’s new Support at Home program

- Deliver community-based clinical care and develop nursing care plans for Support at Home clients
- Undertake comprehensive clinical assessments, including falls risk, pain, skin integrity, nutrition, continence, cognition and mental health

- Current First Aid and CPR certificate
