Description:

About The Refugee Health Nurse Role
This is a unique opportunity to have a significant impact on the lives of individuals and families navigating the complexities of resettlement. As a Refugee Health Nurse, you'll provide direct patient care, advocate for access to services, and collaborate cross-culturally to address health disparities and promote wellness. Every day, you'll be part of a dynamic team, constantly learning and adapting to meet the evolving needs of refugee populations, making your work both deeply meaningful and incredibly rewarding.

Reporting to our Clinical Nurse Coordinator, this is a full-time, ongoing position (1.0 FTE) however, we know flexibility matters so we'd love to hear from candidates interested in a part-time job share (0.6 FTE + 0.4 FTE) so you can make the role work for your lifestyle. Offices located in the Northern Suburbs.

Your Passion and Commitment will see you:

  • Conduct initial health and social needs assessments, care planning, and case conferencing for newly arrived individuals and families.
  • Coordinate client healthcare by liaising with services, schools, and a range of providers (GPs, dental, nutritionists, school nurses, trauma counselling, hospitals, etc.), including facilitating access to interpreters and transportation support.
  • Involve clients and carers in decision-making and collaborate to negotiate agreed care plans.
  • Work closely with local settlement services to quickly address the needs of newly arrived individuals.
  • Promote social connection and integration by referring clients to support and orientation programs.

To succeed in this role you will have:

  • AHPRA Division 1 Registered Nurse, with full and unrestricted registration.
  • Minimum of 2-3 years' experience in primary health care settings or as a Refugee Health Nurse.
  • Strong grasp of community health, human rights, and trauma-informed care principles.
  • Demonstrated understanding and respect for diverse cultural backgrounds, traumatic experiences, and unique health challenges.
  • Lived experience and the ability to speak a relevant community language is highly desirable, although not essential.
