Whether guiding a colleague or managing competing priorities, you act with compassion, integrity and courage. You're not just here to do the job, you're here to elevate care, strengthen teams, and contribute to a service that values dignity and innovation.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
Current registration as a Registered Nurse with the relevant national board
Strong clinical judgement and ability to manage complex care environments
Proven leadership or coordination experience within a healthcare setting
Commitment to continuous learning, quality improvement, and patient safety
You'll stand out from the crowd if you have postgraduate qualifications in a relevant specialty and/or experience working in paediatric or similar clinical settings.
