About us

Nurse Next Door Macedon Ranges is a locally owned, nurse-led home care provider supporting older Australians and people living with disabilities to remain safe, independent and connected in their own homes.

As part of the established Nurse Next Door network, we combine the support of a recognised brand with the personal approach of a growing local business.

About the role

We are looking for an enthusiastic Enrolled Nurse (EN) or Registered Nurse (RN) to join our team as a Community Care Nurse, a role known within Nurse Next Door as a Care Ambassador.

This is a dynamic, hands-on role combining direct client care, care coordination and caregiver support. It is ideal for a nurse who enjoys variety, working independently and building meaningful relationships with clients and families.

You will spend approximately 50–60% of your time visiting clients in their homes, providing practical, person-centred care and support tailored to their individual needs. The remainder of your time will involve client assessments, developing and reviewing care plans, supporting caregivers, coordinating rosters, reviewing progress notes and overseeing the day-to-day delivery of care.

Working closely with our experienced RN and EN team, you will have the chance to further develop your clinical assessment, care coordination and leadership skills while making a genuine difference in the community.

What you will do

- Provide client care: Deliver hands-on, person-centred care and support, helping clients remain safe, comfortable and independent at home.

- Support caregivers:



Introduce caregivers to clients, offer practical guidance and help the team feel confident and supported in their work.

- Coordinate care: Be involved in welcoming new clients, assessing their needs, developing and reviewing care plans, and assisting with day-to-day rostering and care coordination.

- Keep care on track: Visit clients, review progress notes, communicate with families and caregivers, and help identify when care needs to be adjusted.

- Contribute to quality care: Maintain clear documentation, share ideas and work with the team to continually improve the care we provide.

About you

- Ability to prioritise responsibilities, use initiative and adapt to the varied demands of community care.





- A genuine commitment to providing person-centred care, including hands-on support with daily living activities.

Experience in aged care or community care is highly regarded, but we also welcome enthusiastic ENs and junior RNs who are keen to develop their care coordination and leadership skills.
