Registered Nurse — Hospital in the Home | National Home Nursing

Bring your acute hospital expertise beyond the hospital walls.

Are you a highly skilled Registered Nurse with a strong background in acute nursing and a passion for delivering exceptional patient care?
Ready for a new challenge where you can continue using your advanced clinical skills, broaden your scope of practice and enjoy greater autonomy?

At National Home Nurse, we deliver hospital-level care in the comfort of patients' homes, partnering with major public and private hospitals to support patients transitioning from hospital through early discharge and Hospital in the Home programs.

We are seeking highly experienced, clinically confident Registered Nurses with a strong acute medicine background who can confidently manage complex clinical needs, make sound clinical decisions and deliver safe, high-quality care independently in the community.

Take your acute nursing experience further

This is not an entry-level community nursing position. We are looking for nurses who bring substantial hospital experience, strong clinical judgement and the ability to confidently manage patients with complex medical needs.
Working across Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs, you will manage your own caseload, providing hospital-level nursing care in patients' homes while maintaining close communication with hospital teams and other healthcare professionals.

Your clinical expertise will be essential in delivering:

- Comprehensive clinical assessments and management of acute medical conditions
- Complex wound management and advanced wound care
- IV therapy and infusions, including PICC and PORT management
- Advanced venepuncture and IV cannulation
- Urinary catheterisation and catheter management
- Respiratory assessments and ongoing clinical monitoring
- Medication management, care planning and evaluation of patient outcomes
- Early identification of clinical deterioration and appropriate escalation of care

You will draw on your acute hospital knowledge and experience every day,



applying your clinical judgement and assessment skills to ensure patients receive safe and effective hospital-level care at home.
Predominantly daytime shifts are available, with school-hour flexibility where operationally possible.

Why join National Home Nurse?
Your clinical skills. Greater autonomy. A different way to deliver hospital-level care.

- Continue practising at an advanced clinical level outside the traditional hospital environment.
- Apply your acute medical and hospital nursing experience across a varied patient caseload.
- Enjoy greater independence, autonomy and ownership of your clinical decisions.
- Develop meaningful one-on-one relationships with patients and their families.
- Work predominantly day shifts with improved lifestyle flexibility.
- Be part of a supportive clinical team with access to experienced nursing leadership.
- Receive your own nursing consumables kit and the equipment required to deliver quality patient care.

About You

You are a highly competent, confident and experienced Registered Nurse who has developed strong clinical foundations through working in a hospital-based acute care environment.
You thrive in a clinical setting where critical thinking, comprehensive assessment, sound decision-making and the ability to recognise and respond to changes in patient condition are essential.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

- Current AHPRA Registration.
- Minimum 3 years' recent acute hospital nursing experience, preferably within acute medicine, medical, surgical or emergency nursing.
- Robust and well-developed clinical assessment and critical thinking skills.

- The ability to work autonomously, prioritise care and make sound clinical decisions.
- Exceptional communication, documentation and patient advocacy skills.
- Current driver's licence and reliable, comprehensively insured vehicle.
- Willingness to obtain a National Police Clearance.

We are particularly interested in Registered Nurses who have extensive experience managing acute medical patients and are confident delivering complex clinical care independently.

Supported from day one

Transitioning from a hospital environment into Hospital in the Home nursing is an exciting career move, and we understand the importance of feeling clinically supported.
You will receive a comprehensive orientation and induction program covering our clinical systems, processes, procedures and expectations, along with ongoing support from an experienced clinical management team.
Although you will enjoy greater independence in your day-to-day practice, you are never without support. Our experienced nursing team understands the clinical demands of Hospital in the Home and is available to assist when required.
