About the Role

Based within the newly established Lower Mid-North Coast (LMNC) Hub, this role offers a unique opportunity to provide specialist coordination and leadership in palliative and end-of-life care. You'll work collaboratively with a dedicated multidisciplinary team - including nursing, allied health, medical specialists, volunteers, and GPs - to ensure patients and families are supported through every stage of their journey, in the environment that feels right for them.

Each day brings variety and meaning - whether you're leading care planning discussions, supporting colleagues to deliver safe and compassionate practice, or guiding families through some of their most vulnerable moments.

About You

You'll bring advanced skills in palliative and end-of-life care, along with the ability to prioritise, collaborate, and communicate with empathy. A reflective practitioner and a natural team player, you value connection, trust, and the small moments that make the biggest difference.

Essential:

· Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse

· Post-registration qualification in Palliative Care

· Minimum three years' experience in the specialty

· Current driver's licence and ability to travel across the LMNC region

Orientation and ongoing support include guidance from your Nurse Unit Manager, collaboration with the CNC2 (Integrated Care Services), and participation in peer and case discussions within the multidisciplinary team. You'll also have access to development through the HNELHD Palliative Care Stream, regular manager catch-ups, and professional supervision designed to sustain both your skill and your wellbeing.
