Your opportunity
The Clinical Nurse practices autonomously and within a multidisciplinary team to provide nursing services within a rural / remote health service setting.
The purpose of the Clinical Nurse Infection Control is to work in collaboration with the Clinical Nurse Consultant Infection Control to deliver an Infection Prevention and Control program to the South West Hospital and Health Service (SWHHS).
The Clinical Nurse is a nurse licensed to practice nursing without supervision and who assumes accountability and responsibility for own actions and acts to rectify unsafe nursing practice and / or unprofessional conduct.
The Clinical Nurse is responsible for infectious disease surveillance, observational and documentation audits as well as infection control education in a variety of practice settings. The Clinical Nurse must work within their scope of practice and function as a safe and competent practitioner.
The successful applicant will be required to travel around the district to support all facilities on a regular basis.
The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.
Our vision is to be a national leader in the delivery of health services to rural and remote communities.
