This is a fantastic opportunity for a nurse with a background in child health, school health, community nursing or Aboriginal primary health care who is looking for a role where they can genuinely make an impact.

You will work with children and young people aged 4–17 years, helping to improve health outcomes through early intervention, health education, preventative healthcare and strong engagement with families, schools and the wider community.

The Role

As the School Health Nurse, you will coordinate and deliver school-based health services with a strong focus on prevention, early intervention and improving health literacy.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing evidence-based healthcare to children and their families
• Delivering school-based health assessments, education and preventative health programs
• Providing routine immunisations
• Supporting the development and delivery of child and school health initiatives
• Working closely with schools, families, health professionals and community organisations
• Promoting positive health behaviours and improving health literacy
• Collecting and reviewing health information to identify trends and opportunities for service improvement

Location Information

Imagine finishing work and heading straight to the beach, watching one of the Kimberley’s famous sunsets or spending your weekends exploring some of the most spectacular coastline in Australia.

This area offers a relaxed tropical lifestyle, a strong sense of community and the opportunity to experience the Kimberley while still having the amenities of a regional centre.

For a nurse wanting to move away from traditional hospital nursing and into a role centred around prevention, children, families and community, this is an opportunity well worth considering.
