Hospital in the Home

Do you want to be a part of a team that promotes and improves the health of its people and community?

Are you a Registered or Clinical Nurse looking for your next challenge and a change in your routine? Hospital in the Home may be the opportunity you are looking for. Your expertise is needed in our dynamic and multidisciplinary team that provides care outside of the hospital wards and into patient's own homes.

What is our Hospital in the Home (HITH) Service?

HITH at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital is a recent extension of our existing pioneering Home Link service and provides patients with an alternative to an in-hospital stay while still receiving acute inpatient care in the comfort of their own home from a multidisciplinary team of health professionals.

Our nurses provide treatments such as Intravenous antibiotics, wound management, clinical assessment, heart failure management and more. We value nurses who are enthusiastic, highly resourceful, have strong time management, and problem-solving skills. In this role, you will be supported to use your excellent clinical assessment and communication skills to provide care to patients in both our hospital clinic and in the patients' home.

The HITH team has access to the same highly skilled staff, hospital technologies, equipment, medication, and safety and quality standards a patient would expect in hospital. Our patients are visited at home by the team each day and may be seen by nurses up to twice daily if required, until they are discharged.

Whilst you will be working autonomously providing one-to-one care to our valued patients, you will never be alone. Guidance and support will be immediately accessible throughout your working day.

This role offers unique benefits to the usual, such as:

• No night duty
• Flexible, request-driven rostering
• A variety of roles within the service
• 7 day a week service with attractive penalty rates for after-hours and weekends
• Qualification allowance for approved relevant courses

At NMHS, we aim to ensure our behaviours reflect our core values: Care, Respect, Innovation, Teamwork and Integrity. During the selection process you will be assessed on your ability to fulfil the responsibilities of this position while upholding our values.
