Are you an empathetic nurse passionate about delivering personalised, person-centred clinical care in the home? Join our dedicated team to make a meaningful difference in the life of a community client living with dementia.
As a Community Registered Nurse / Enrolled Nurse, you will deliver tailored clinical care—focusing on diabetes management, medication administration, and routine monitoring—while creating a calm, supportive environment that preserves the client's dignity, autonomy, and comfort.

Promptly escalate any acute declines or signs of delirium to the Clinical Care Coordinator and treating medical team.
- Cooperative Communication: Engage sensitively with the client, their family, and primary carers. Maintain consistent, reassuring handover notes and communicate openly with multidisciplinary health professionals to support continuity of care.
- Safety & Wandering Risk Mitigation: Maintain a secure,
hazard-free home environment. Ensure fall-prevention measures are in place and remain vigilant regarding wandering tendencies or environmental disorientation.
- Documentation & Clinical Compliance: Maintain comprehensive, objective progress notes detailing clinical vitals, medication adherence, BGL charts, and behavioral observations in accordance with AHPRA/NMBA standards and organizational governance.
