Clinical Nurse Specialist – Ophthalmic Theatre

Gold Coast

Picture this: your final case of the day finishes on time, the team's calm, instruments packed away, and you're heading home with daylight to spare. That's theatre nursing at its best — precise, calm, and deeply rewarding.

As the Clinical Nurse Specialist, you'll join a modern, private surgical facility known for its patient-first culture and seamless teamwork. Here, every nurse is respected, supported, and trusted to do what they do best.

No chaos. No double shifts. Just a great team, great location, and the kind of work that reminds you why you chose theatre nursing.

The Role

As the Clinical Nurse Specialist (Ophthalmic), you'll blend expert scrub/scout skills with mentoring leadership — guiding a talented perioperative team through ophthalmic lists where precision and empathy go hand-in-hand.

You'll:

  • Lead a small, high-performing team with calm, confident direction.
  • Scrub and scout alongside respected ophthalmic surgeons.
  • Coordinate workflows, rosters, and case flow for smooth operations.
  • Collaborate on safety, education, and quality improvement projects.
  • Support patient education and recovery with professionalism and heart.

This Clinical Nurse Specialist position is ideal for an experienced Ophthalmic RN ready to step into leadership — or a current senior nurse seeking a balanced, fulfilling environment on the beautiful Gold Coast.

About You

  • Current AHPRA Registration (RN Div 1)
  • Minimum 5 years' Ophthalmic Scrub/Scout experience
  • Calm, mentoring leadership style that builds team confidence
  • Strong clinical judgement and meticulous attention to detail
  • Private hospital or day surgery experience highly regarded
  • Post-graduate perioperative qualification desirable

What You'll Love

  • Monday–Friday roster – reclaim your weekends and evenings
  • No on-call, no public holidays, no trauma
  • Flexible start times to suit your lifestyle
  • Modern, purpose-built theatres with leading-edge technology
  • Supportive, values-driven leadership team
  • Genuine career development within a national network
  • Wellbeing initiatives, recognition programs, and staff perks that matter

You'll finally have time for life — morning walks, coastal sunsets, and weekends that are actually yours.
