Do you want to be a part of a team that supports the health of its people and community?

We are hiring highly motivated nurses to complement the major expansion of Emergency Department (ED) infrastructure at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH) in Nedlands.

We have opportunities for Permanent and Fixed-Term appointment at hours from Full-Time to Part-Time. Fixed Term appointments have the possibility of extension(s) and/or permanency.

What is our Emergency Department nursing role?

Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH) Emergency Department (ED) is a tertiary centre that provides care to adult patients over the age of 16. Working in our fast-paced ED offers nurses a dynamic and highly rewarding professional environment. Here you work side-by-side with a dedicated team of doctors, allied health professionals and fellow nurses to care for patients with a broad spectrum of presentations. The close collaboration between teams encourages continual learning and fosters strong interdisciplinary relationships, while the unpredictability of emergency care keeps you challenged and engaged.

Our dedicated Staff Development Nurses and Clinical Nurse Specialists are available 7am-10pm, 7 days a week, to provide hands on clinical support as you progress through the department. We offer a recognition of prior learning pathway, acknowledging prior emergency skills and experience. We also have a transition to critical care program, for those nurses without critical care experience, to support the transition. With multiple role progressions within the department, the ability to broaden your knowledge, skills, and scope within the critical care setting awaits!

The SCGH ED infrastructure redevelopment, designed to meet the needs of Western Australia’s growing community, is already underway with predicted completion in 2027. These works will expand and enhance the delivery of emergency services at SCGH. A new dedicated area will be established in the ED, including a Clinical Toxicology Unit, providing a separate area for alcohol and other drug-related presentations.

The redevelopment includes:

• Upgraded Emergency Department entrance, waiting area and triage area.
• New Clinical Toxicology Unit
• Enhanced Observation Ward capacity
• Enhanced Ambulance triage facilities
• Fast Track area
• Dedicated ‘Pitstop (rapid assessment) Area’

If you are looking for professional growth, strong teamwork, and the satisfaction of providing essential care when it is needed most, Sir Charles Gairdner Emergency Department is the workplace for you!
