Behind every shift filled is a nurse doing what they do best and a patient or resident getting the care they need. Your job is to make that happen. We’re looking for a calm, switched-on Allocations Consultant to join Nursing Australia on a casual basis in our Melbourne team. You’ll sit at the heart of a 7-day-a-week service, matching the right people to the right shifts, keeping credentials and compliance spot-on, and solving problems fast when the pressure is on.
Please note: This is a frontline operational role covering mainly after hours and weekends, with day shift cover as needed. This is a remote role. Shifts vary and can include late closes through to 1:15am, so flexibility is key. If you thrive when things get busy, we’d love to meet you.
What you’ll be doing:
- Allocating and coordinating shifts across a 7-day-a-week service, matching the right people to the right requests
- Managing bookings and rosters in our workforce management systems, accurately and in real time
- Checking compliance and credentials to make sure every allocation meets requirements
- Responding calmly and quickly to last-minute changes, urgent requests and after-hours demands
- Communicating clearly with clients and our workforce, by phone and in writing
- Supporting after-hours operations and covering day shifts where needed
You’re the right person if…
- You have experience in allocations, rostering, scheduling or workforce coordination (healthcare preferred)
- You communicate clearly and confidently, both verbally and in writing
- You can work under pressure in a high-volume, time-critical environment
- You have a high attention to detail, particularly with compliance and credentials
- You’re confident using workforce management or booking systems
- You bring a professional, calm and solution-focused approach
- You’re available for early starts, late finishes and weekends
- Experience in health labour hire, nursing agencies, aged care, disability or hospital staffing is a bonus, as is knowledge of healthcare awards, fatigue considerations, clinical roles, skill mix and scope of practice
