- Document accurate and timely progress notes on client interactions, changes in condition, incidents, and follow-up actions
- Review progress notes submitted by support workers, suppliers, and allied health professionals to ensure coordinated, high-quality care
- Admission of new clients with nursing assessments and meet and greets when our admissions nurse goes on maternity leave in August

**What We’re Looking For**
- Enrolled or Registered Nurse with current AHPRA registration
- Proven experience in aged care, home care, or community services
- Strong clinical judgement, assessment, and care planning skills
- Confidence to work independently and manage competing priorities
- Excellent communication and leadership skills
- Knowledge of HCP and/or NDIS funding models and consumer-directed care principles
- Current Police Check, First Aid & CPR certification
- Driver’s licence, own vehicle, and flexibility to travel across Melbourne and occasionally regionally

**What’s on Offer**
- Competitive salary - choose employee or ABN arrangement
- Flexible, autonomous part-time role with potential to grow into full-time
- Supportive team culture with direct access to a senior RN
- Work with a values-driven, family-run provider with a 35-year legacy
