Are you a motivated mental health nurse looking to be part of a supportive, highly collaborative team that genuinely makes a difference for consumers experiencing acute mental distress?

About the Role
Our High Dependency Unit (HDU) at PMBC consists of a 10-bed male ward and a 12-bed female ward, providing specialised care for consumers with complex and acute mental health needs. HDU is a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, and where teamwork, communication and collaboration are essential to delivering safe, high-quality, consumer-centred care.

We are looking for registered nurses who are enthusiastic, adaptable and willing to actively contribute to a positive team culture. We value people who bring ideas, support their colleagues, embrace learning opportunities and are passionate about providing least restrictive, person-centred care. Critical thinking, professionalism and the ability to work collaboratively under pressure are highly regarded.

At the heart of HDU is a strong multidisciplinary team that values connection, mutual support and shared decision-making. We work closely together to balance safety, risk management and therapeutic engagement, always striving to provide care that is compassionate, recovery-oriented and centred on the individual needs of each consumer. We recognise that meaningful relationships are often the most powerful intervention,



and we are committed to creating an workplace where consumers feel respected, understood and supported in their recovery journey.

HDU is a team that celebrates strengths, supports growth and believes the best outcomes for consumers are achieved when staff feel connected, valued and empowered. If you are looking for an opportunity to work alongside passionate mental health clinicians and be part of a team committed to continuous improvement and excellence in care, we would love to hear from you!
