About RedDoor

RedDoor Community Services is a registered NDIS provider and ACNC-registered charity based in Cloncurry and Mount Isa, Queensland. We operate two Supported Independent Living homes, youth programs and social enterprises, and deliver NDIS supports. We’re a charity run by non-clinical managers, with support workers delivering the day-to-day care. You’ll be the only nurse clinician in the organisation.

The role A mix of hands-on nursing, clinical governance, education and an active part of the team. You’ll deliver direct nursing care to our SIL participants as needed and oversee the clinical quality of what our support workers do, how they administer medication, managing health appointments and accurately recording it. You’ll work alongside program managers, the SIL leaders and the Directors, none of whom are clinicians.

You need to be comfortable with that, taking operational direction from them, explaining clinical matters in plain English, and confidently applying your clinical judgement and advocating for appropriate care, without relying on a traditional clinical hierarchy for guidance.

We’ll build the role around the right person. Full-time or part-time, school hours, a compressed week, a nine-day fortnight, tell us your preferences and we'll see if we can make it work!

Hands-on
