What You'll Be Doing
We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Clinical Care Partner to join our Support at Home team. While the role is ideally full-time, we are open to discussing flexible part-time arrangements for the right person.
This role is ideal for an AHPRA Registered Nurse who is passionate about supporting older people to live independently and safely in their own homes. Working as part of a collaborative multidisciplinary team, you will provide high-quality clinical care, care coordination, care management support, and clinical guidance to Support Workers and colleagues.

You will work closely with the Support at Home Team Manager, nursing team, Care Partners, and Support Workers to deliver person-centred care that enhances quality of life and wellbeing.
This position operates under a flexible, hybrid work model, with a blend of working from home, from our Chermside office, and visiting clients across North Brisbane and Moreton Bay.
Specific Tasks
- Act as the primary contact and advocate for clients, developing and coordinating person-centred Care Plans that align with their goals, needs, and budgets.
- Deliver clinical care, assessments, health checks, medication administration, and care management support within the Registered Nurse scope of practice.
- Provide clinical guidance, training, and day-to-day support to Support Workers and team members, including oversight of Restorative Care and End of Life pathways.
- Liaise with clients, families, health professionals, assessment services, and community organisations to ensure coordinated and effective service delivery.
- Maintain accurate client records, monitor budgets, complete assessments and reviews, and ensure compliance with aged care legislation, funding requirements, and Quality Standards.
- Identify and report risks, incidents, and improvement opportunities while contributing to the ongoing quality and effectiveness of services.
