For over a century, our incredible teams have provided care for people when they need it most. Our people feel great pride in this, and they value the security and stability we offer.

As a for-purpose organisation with over 10,000 dedicated, compassionate people, we continue to offer more services and deeper care than ever before. With Mercy, you'll have the chance to make an impact and gain experience that's hard to find elsewhere.

At Mercy Health, it's all about taking what we have and making it better.

To do that, we need you.

About the opportunity

• The HITH unit is a growing inpatient unit outside the walls of the hospital.
• We receive referrals from specialties across general medical, surgical, rehabilitation, pre/post operative care, Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM) and Geriatrics.
• The Clinical Nurse holds a senior autonomous position, requiring proficient critical thinking and problem solving skills, along with the ability to juggle multiple competing priorities.
• Responsible for patient assessment, comprehensive care delivery and quality discharge planning. Communication is key to success in this role.
• Act as a role model by promoting best practice philosophies and practice within the core Values of Mercy Health.

• Demonstrated proficient clinical skills in specialty areas relevant to HITH and understanding of the clinical context of care provision at home.
• Must have current registration as a Registered Nurse, with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and an unencumbered Drivers Licence.
