Enrolled Nurse

Join our supportive and welcoming team on Ward 5D at Maitland Hospital, where you’ll play an important role in supporting patients through their medical and orthopaedic rehabilitation journey. Our dedicated multidisciplinary team is committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care, with a strong focus on recovery, restoring independence and safe discharge planning.

As an Enrolled Nurse, you will work under the guidance of Registered Nurses to provide safe, compassionate and effective care, supporting patients to achieve their rehabilitation goals and transition safely back home or to other appropriate care settings.

In this role, you will:

• Provide safe, compassionate and patient-centred care to patients undergoing medical and orthopaedic rehabilitation.
• Work collaboratively with Registered Nurses and the wider multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality care.
• Support patients to achieve their rehabilitation goals, regain independence and maximise their functional abilities.
• Contribute to safe discharge planning and support patients as they transition back home or to other appropriate care settings.

We are seeking a compassionate, motivated and enthusiastic Enrolled Nurse who is passionate about providing high-quality patient care and contributing to a positive team environment. You will bring a positive attitude, a strong work ethic and a genuine commitment to supporting patients throughout their rehabilitation journey. You will be a reliable and adaptable team player who communicates effectively, treats others with respect and is open to feedback and ongoing learning. Previous experience in medical, orthopaedic or rehabilitation settings will be highly regarded; however, it is not essential. We encourage Enrolled Nurses who are eager to learn, develop their skills and contribute to our supportive and inclusive team to apply.

Current registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) as an Enrolled Nurse is required.
