About You
We are looking for experienced RNs or RN-Midwives passionate about equal quality care for all. The ability to communicate and participate effectively within a cross-cultural, multi-disciplinary health team and a demonstrated understanding of issues affecting Aboriginal health will be beneficial.
Our successful candidates will:
- Be a Registered Nurse or an RN and Registered Midwife, registered with the National Board of Nursing and Midwifery
- Have at least 3 years of post-graduation work experience, with recent acute medical/A&E exposure
- Have demonstrated experience working in a clinical environment and hospital-based general nursing experience in the past 3 years (both of which are essential)
- Hold post-basic nursing qualifications in emergency care, advanced nursing, or rural/remote area nursing (desirable but not essential)
- Be highly computer literate, as health records are fully digital
- Display strong cultural awareness and respect
- Have advanced clinical skills and confidence in managing diverse patient presentations, including trauma, acute, and chronic conditions across all age groups
Midwives must have significant experience in acute general work within the past 5 years.
These positions are based in busy community clinics that are open from 9 am to 5:30 pm Monday to Friday. Nurses do provide an after-hours on-call service, and you will require advanced nursing clinical skills including excellent clinical assessment skills and confidence in managing diversity in presentations - trauma, acute and chronic medical conditions - across all age groups.
Nganampa Health Council is seeking adaptable and flexible individuals who can display the initiative, discretion and cultural sensitivity needed to support and drive the organisation's objectives and values. The ability to communicate and participate effectively within a cross-cultural, multi-disciplinary health team will be required.
Candidates who are open to change, accepting of Aboriginal people, comfortable living in a remote environment and who are willing to learn the ways of the people will be well suited to this position.
The ability to work under Aboriginal management and control will be highly regarded, as will a demonstrated understanding of issues affecting Aboriginal health, the principles of Primary Health Care and relevant legislation. No two days will be the same and as a result, highly resourceful candidates will thrive here
Please note: Successful candidates must undergo a Police Check and a Working With Children Check. A manual driver's licence is essential, and familiarity with 4WD vehicles is advantageous (4WD training is provided during orientation).
