About the Role

The Float Registered Nurse provides flexible clinical support across both Busselton and Dunsborough facilities. This role ensures safe, person-centred, and high-quality clinical care by stepping into various shifts where clinical support is required due to planned leave, unplanned leave or operational needs.

Reporting to the Facility Managers, you'll help maintain clinical standards and person-centred care, with a key focus on covering annual and unplanned leave across both facilities.

This full-time role is an additional resource, covering all planned and unplanned leave for our 7-3 pm shifts across both Busselton and Dunsborough facilities and offers a lucrative hourly rate for the required flexibility.

If/when you are not covering leave, you’ll support with additional nursing duties, projects, and general operations.

Candidates must be available and able to cover all AM shifts, Monday to Sunday, across both facilities (maximum 5 shifts/38 hours per week).
