About Us
Blue Butterfly Group is a clinically led NDIS disability support provider delivering person-centered care to adults with complex needs across Queensland. We support participants with psychosocial presentations, intellectual disabilities, behavioural support requirements, dementia, and high support needs in shared supported living and specialist disability accommodation environments. We're looking for an experienced Enrolled Nurse who's ready to step into a hybrid clinical and service management role.
The Role
This is a unique opportunity to combine hands-on clinical nursing with operational leadership. You'll split your time between direct clinical work and service coordination, managing both participant wellbeing and team operations.
Clinical Responsibilities:
- Deliver direct clinical nursing care to participants with complex presentations
- Conduct clinical assessments, risk monitoring, and health coordination
- Develop and maintain clinical documentation, support plans, and behaviour support plans
- Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams (psychiatry, psychology, speech pathology, allied health)
- Manage medication administration, health monitoring, and incident response
- Support behaviour support implementation and de-escalation strategies
- Contribute to clinical governance and practice standards
Service Management Responsibilities:
- Oversee participant support coordination and service delivery
- Manage incident reporting, WHS compliance, and NDIS documentation
- Lead staff briefings, training, and performance support
- Liaise with NDIS, OPG, QCAT, and external stakeholders
- Coordinate care transitions, transition planning, and accommodation changes
- Develop service agreements and support documentation
- Manage escalations and complex stakeholder communication
- Contribute to operational planning and continuous improvement
What We're Looking For
- Current Registered Nurse registration (AHPRA)
- Minimum 1-3 years clinical nursing experience in disability, mental health, or complex care settings
- Service leadership interest - you're ready to move beyond direct care into coordination and management
- NDIS sector knowledge - familiarity with funding, compliance, and NDIS practice standards
- Strong WHS and safeguarding mindset - you understand risk, incident response, and duty of care
- Excellent communication - you can talk to staff, families, OPG representatives, and clinical teams with equal ease
- Flexibility and resilience - you're comfortable with clinical complexity and operational demands
- Evidence-based approach - you think critically about outcomes, prevention, and best practice
- Willingness to get hands-on - you don't step away from clinical work; you lead by example
Desirable:
- Disability support experience (NDIS, SIL, SDA)
- Behaviour support or mental health focus
- Previous service coordination or team leadership experience
- Familiarity with restrictive practice frameworks
- Experience with QCAT or OPG involvement
What We Offer
- Meaningful work in a clinically-led, participant-centered culture
- Career development - clear pathway to senior leadership roles
- Clinical autonomy - your nursing judgment matters here
- Supportive team - you'll work alongside experienced clinicians and management
- Professional development – training, mentorship, and conference attendance supported
- Competitive remuneration - commensurate with experience and qualifications
- Flexible arrangements - we work with you on hours and location balance
- Brisbane-based with potential for occasional regional coordination
Why Join Us?
If you're an RN who wants to grow beyond the bedside into leadership, who believes disability support is where complex clinical thinking meets real human impact, and who's ready to manage both people and systems – this is your next move. We're not a large corporate; we're a team of clinicians genuinely focused on getting it right for participants and their families.
