Registered Nurse Jobs on the Sunshine Coast

Registered nurses in aged care homes are responsible for providing high quality care to residents on a physical, emotional and holistic level. To enter into the industry, the first clinical step is an Assistant in nursing/personal care worker, and through upskilling you can step into the role of a registered nurse.

Since inception, we have cultivated solid relationships across the country. With over 400 aged care homes across Australia, in metro, regional, rural and remote areas, there is never a shortfall of opportunities available.

Alongside the Sunshine Coast, in Queensland we have positions in:

• Boonah
• Brisbane
• Bribie Island
• Bundaberg
• Cairns
• Darling Downs
• Far North QLD
• Toowoomba
• Townsville
• Wide Bay

There are a lot of variances when it comes to pay rates, as aged care casual rates depend on your position, experience level and shift times that you work. The average registered nurse casual pay rates are in-between $50 - $120 per hour.

Incentives, allowances and bonuses are applicable for certain contract placements and locations. Reforms in aged care have led to pay rises for aged care workers in recent years, with more developments to come.

As a rule of thumb, you need 1 year of Australian aged care experience to work on our casual registered nurse pool. If you have under this, get in contact as we do have opportunity for new/recent graduates to work in a few of our homes

For registered nurses, you would need a Bachelor of Nursing which is a three year university degree. This is made up of theoretical and practical assessments. If you are a qualified overseas nurse, you can get your qualification converted in line with AHPRA regulations, and obtain a sponsorship if you meet the eligibility requirements.

We are recruiting registered nurses for temporary/casual and contract assignments. Casual work, or shift filling, is done on an ad-hoc or block booking basis. Contract roles range from 4 weeks - 3 months in rural, regional and remote areas of the country.

During the onboarding process, you will need to complete online competency modules via our Learning Management System (LMS) at no cost to you. This is regularly updated to reflect new legislation and practices.

We are actively hiring:

• Assistant in nursing/personal care workers
• Enrolled nurses
• Clinical care coordinators
• Care managers
• Facility managers
• Quality and education managers
• Director of nursing

Through working on a short term or ad-hoc basis, you can:

• Structure your work day/week to your schedule
• Through our contract roles, you can explore areas of the country whilst getting paid for it, with free travel and accommodation included.
• Set your own work/life balance
• Receive a higher hourly rate than if you were a permanent employee
