We’re looking for a passionate and flexible Registered Nurse to join our dedicated team at Werris Creek Multi-Purpose Service (MPS) – a workplace where you’ll find purpose, variety, and a genuine sense of community, and where you are available to work a full rotating roster.
Why Werris Creek? Why Rural NSW?
Located in the beautiful New England region – just a short drive from Tamworth, with easy access to Brisbane, Sydney, and the coast – Werris Creek offers the best of both worlds: a slower pace of life surrounded by natural beauty, and access to modern conveniences and transport links.
Whether you're drawn to wide open spaces, heritage charm, or warm and welcoming people, this is your chance to experience rural living without compromising your career.
Why Work at an MPS?
Multi-Purpose Services offer a unique opportunity to work across a broad scope of practice, often in close-knit, supportive teams. At Werris Creek MPS, you’ll gain experience in:
General medical and subacute care
Residential Aged Care
Allied health, primary health, and community services
Providing first-line emergency response and stabilisation prior to transfer
You’ll care for a mix of aged care residents and patients presenting with urgent needs, offering continuity of care and connection that’s hard to find elsewhere. You’ll strengthen your clinical skills, think on your feet, and make a real difference to people in your local community – all while helping families stay close to home.
