Your opportunity

The Clinical Nurse practices autonomously and within a multidisciplinary team to provide nursing services within a rural / remote health service setting.

The Clinical Nurse is responsible for a portfolio with a focus on clinical care/leadership, management, education and/or research. The clinical nurse assumes responsibility for professional leadership on the ward, service or unit and applies critical thinking across all the domains.

Explore your love for nursing, connect with people from different walks of life, and be the help to our elderly community who really need it. This is an opportunity for you to educate, support and mentor our passionate rural and remote team of nurses.

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.

Roma is the largest town in the Maranoa Region and offers an array of city-like conveniences with friendly country hospitality. Servicing a catchment population of almost 14,000, Westhaven is a small residential aged care facility where care is provided in a family like environment within the broader Roma community. A great place for families in a region traditionally rich with oil and gas and farming industries, Roma boasts and an abundance of sports, recreation and schooling options. With annual events such as Easter in the Country and the Roma Races, Roma is fast becoming renowned for its enthusiasm in bringing world class Festivals and Events to the local area, showcasing their community spirit; the same community feel that makes Roma a career move you will wish you had made earlier.
