About the Role:

An exciting opportunity is presented to work within the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network as the Advanced Nurse/Midwife Unit Manager for the Lyell McEwin Family Clinic and Modbury Hospital Women's and Paediatric Clinic, within the Women and Children's Division.

Here at the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network (NALHN) Everyone Matters, Everyone Contributes, Everyone has a Story, and Everyone Grows. Consistent with our values, we are recruiting a values-based Advanced Nurse/Midwife Unit Manager to lead our team of exceptional clinicians across two clinics – Lyell McEwin Family Clinic and Modbury Hospital Women’s and Paediatric Clinic.

These outpatient clinics within the Women and Children’s Division at NALHN play an integral role across the Division, and include specialist newborn and paediatric clinics, through to midwifery and obstetric antenatal care models, gynaecology, and other specialist services. We provide a family friendly environment and service for the families of Northern Adelaide.

The right person for this role has a “can-do” attitude. You will be innovative and supportive and have the skills and knowledge to lead your team in a dynamic environment, through periods of change and growth.

Employees classified at this level use their clinical knowledge and experience to provide the pivotal co-ordination of patient/client care delivery in a patient/client care area within a Health Unit or Community Service. The focus of this role is the line management, coordination, and leadership of the nursing/midwifery team and/or multi-disciplinary team activities, including where relevant, such local resource management as to achieve continuity and quality of patient/client care and outcomes.

In this role you will accept accountability for the outcomes of nursing/midwifery practices and/or multidisciplinary outcomes in the specific practice setting, for addressing inconsistencies between practice and policy; and for developing team performance within positive work cultures in the interest of patient/client outcomes.

The Advanced Nurse/Midwife Unit Manager will lead, manage, oversee, and advise on nursing/midwifery care and health service delivery for a defined service delivery area which is (by number of patients/clients and/or by clinical complexity and/or breadth and/or professional isolation) demonstrably beyond the usual range for that practice setting.
