Your new role:

The vision for South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) is ‘exceptional care, healthier lives’. SESLHD is committed to enabling our community to be healthy and well, and to providing the best possible compassionate care when people need it.

The Nursing and Midwifery – Our Strategy for Transforming Person Centred Cultures 2024-2029 guides our profession in the development of effective person-centred practice and healthful cultures within SESLHD. We advocate for shared decision-making, collaborative relationships, compassionate and person-centred leadership, and supporting innovative practices.

As a Clinical Nurse Consultant/Clinical Midwife Consultant in SESLHD you will play a pivotal role to oversee the new Community Supportive Care Services model (CSCS). You will triage the patients to the appropriate community or outpatient supportive service using the established guidelines and triggers. Once accepted to the CSCS, nurses will support case coordination within the multidisciplinary (MDT) team and community healthcare providers, including running a weekly MDT of patients reviewed. Within this role there will be a requirement to undertake clinical reviews across clinics, community and virtual care settings either alone or in conjunction with a Palliative Care Specialist.

The position will also be responsible for providing telephone support to GPs within business hours, for symptom management of patients in the local area, under the supported supervision of the Palliative Care Specialist, as required. In addition to the above, the position will also lead education and research activities and will be required to undertake strategic planning and capacity building activities for the new service.

You will be part of a team that strives to support each other to reach our potential, focus on what matters most and continue to be innovative in approaches to practice.
