Casual engagements are often how nurses gain breadth in Australian residential aged care before committing to a permanent post. This Registered Nurse opening is casual and is based at a home in a country town north of Albury, New South Wales, run by a not-for-profit care organisation.
Professionally, the role develops three capabilities, namely individualised clinical care for seniors, competence in dementia nursing and independent clinical reasoning. It also gives exposure to the Aged Care Quality Standards in daily practice, under an experienced and engaged leadership group.
The organisation welcomes post-graduate applicants and states that visa sponsorship will be considered for the right candidate, which is relevant for nurses mapping a longer pathway.
