As a Psychiatric Nurse Specialist in our Women's Health team, you will be part of a multidisciplinary clinical team working together to provide holistic care to women who require ongoing support after a hospital stay or enhanced care if coming from the community.

The role involves undertaking detailed mental state examinations, leading day-to-day clinical care for admitted participants, liaising with internal and external stakeholders, family, and carers as indicated. You will also work collaboratively with the on-site clinical team, partner with Wellways Australia to deliver recovery-oriented mental health care, and support admissions with their medication management.

Key aspects of the role include:

  • Undertake detailed mental state examinations
  • Liaise with internal and external stakeholders, family, and carers as indicated
  • Work collaboratively with the on-site clinical team and partner with Wellways Australia
  • Support admissions with their medication management
  • Engage with care planning across a 14-day stay

A successful candidate will bring demonstrated skills, experience, and knowledge, including passion for working in mental health and an interest in women's mental health, capacity to work autonomously and as part of an allied health team, and sound understanding of recovery-oriented mental health frameworks.

Mandatory requirements include a Post Graduate Diploma in Mental Health Nursing or completion of a specialist undergraduate psychiatric nursing program or specialist post-basic course of training which led to registration as a Division 3 nurse, demonstration of appropriate competencies and skills for this role, and a minimum of 2 years full-time equivalent mental health experience in mental health nursing.

We are committed to patient safety, promoting fairness, equity, and diversity in the workplace and to Child Safe Standards. At Monash Health, we are relentless in our pursuit of excellence and work to our six guiding principles and five ICare values.
