Part Time 2 Days per Week (Tuesday & Thursday) based at Albury delivering outreach services to Benalla & Wangaratta. This is far more than a traditional nursing role. As the Outreach Nurse, you will act as a mobile healthcare provider, educator and trusted community partner, delivering culturally safe and respectful care directly to Aboriginal people living in regional and rural communities.
Working from a fully equipped mobile health van, you will travel to Benalla and Wangaratta to provide a range of clinical services including:
- Health assessments and health checks
- Chronic disease management
- Wound care
- Medication management
- Preventative health care and education
You will also play a vital role in supporting mental and emotional wellbeing, strengthening family and community connections, and assisting community members to access appropriate health and support services. Working collaboratively, you will liaise with GPs, hospitals, specialists and other health providers to coordinate care, advocate for clients, and help ensure individuals receive the right care at the right time.
This is a highly rewarding opportunity suited to an experienced nurse who is confident working independently, passionate about improving health outcomes, and committed to building strong, respectful relationships within Aboriginal communities.
Location Requirements: Applicants should ideally be based within the Albury-Wodonga region, as the outreach vehicle is housed at our Glenroy (Albury) site and must be returned there following each outreach day. Applicants residing outside the region are welcome to apply, however, they must be willing and able to travel to Glenroy to commence and conclude each outreach shift.
Why you will enjoy working at AWAHS:
- Make a real impact by improving lives and strengthening community wellbeing
- Competitive remuneration package
- Access to salary packaging benefits up to $15,900 tax free
- Supportive leadership and a collaborative, inclusive team culture
- Ongoing training, professional development and career progression opportunities
- Confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your family
- Be part of a growing organisation with exciting future developments across the Border region
