Family Health Care Ooralea is seeking a caring, proactive and motivated Practice Nurse to join the team on a casual basis, with the potential for part-time hours in the future for the right person.

This is an opportunity to bring your clinical skills into a supportive General Practice environment where you can build meaningful relationships with patients and contribute to their ongoing care.

You’ll join an experienced nursing and administration team within a purpose-built health complex, supported by a broader multidisciplinary healthcare environment.

As a Practice Nurse, you will support the delivery of high-quality patient care across a broad range of General Practice services.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Supporting GPs with patient care and clinical procedures
• Immunisations and preventative healthcare
• Chronic disease management
• Wound care and minor procedures
• Health assessments and health promotion
• Supporting a fully functional treatment room
• Assisting with nurse-led clinics and other clinical initiatives
• Providing patient education and support
• Maintaining accurate clinical documentation and infection control standards
• Contributing to a positive and efficient patient experience

The role offers variety across the day, with opportunities to develop your clinical skills and broaden your experience within General Practice.

About you

We are looking for an Enrolled Nurse or Registered Nurse who brings a positive, patient-focused approach to their work.

You will ideally have:

• Current AHPRA registration as an EN or RN
• Full working rights in Australia

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• The ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team
• A proactive approach and willingness to learn
• Good organisation and attention to detail
