Join Our Team: Care Manager Community Nurse – Aged Care Services

Are you a passionate and experienced Registered Nurse looking for an opportunity to make a real impact on the lives of older Queenslanders? We are seeking a dedicated Care Manager Community Nurse to coordinate and enhance our aged care services in the Southeast Queensland region.

About Us:
At Mt Gravatt Community Centre / Queensland Ageing and Disability Services, we are driven by our mission to provide dynamic, client-focused care that makes a real difference in the lives of older Queenslanders. Our multidisciplinary team is committed to delivering best-practice, home-based programs and services that support clients in their own homes, allowing them to live independently and with dignity.

We believe in a culture that’s warm, bold, and honest—where each team member is valued for their expertise and dedication. By joining us, you’ll be part of a team that creates meaningful change for our clients, helping them transition from hospital care back into the comfort of their own homes or prevent unnecessary admissions altogether.

Key responsibilities include:

Clinical Leadership: Deliver high-level clinical care, including wound care, fall prevention, and risk assessments.

Case Management: Oversee initial and ongoing client case management, ensuring care plans are adjusted to meet clients’ evolving needs.

Team Collaboration: Work closely with medical professionals and allied health services, including Nurse Navigator programs, as well as other QAADS team members.

Client-Centred Care: Monitor, implement, and modify care plans in collaboration with clients and families, empowering them to achieve personal and clinical goals.

Policy Development: Support the development and improvement of policies and procedures for care workers to ensure best practices and compliance with industry standards.
