Vitalcare are looking to expand our National Service and Installation team with new Field Service Technicians specialising in nurse call technology.

We are ideally looking for seasoned technicians with experience in nurse call, security/access control/CCTV, NBN, home automation, electrical or fire alarm systems installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

If you don't meet our core criteria, be sure to tell us why you would like to join out team in a covering letter as there may be other roles suitable for you.
