About the Opportunity

Looking for a rewarding nursing role where you can make a lasting impact on patients' recovery while enjoying the support of a close-knit rural healthcare team? Wingham Rehabilitation Hospital is seeking a compassionate and experienced Registered Nurse to join our team in a Permanent Full-Time position, with job share arrangements considered for the right applicants.

Set in a beautiful rural location, Wingham Rehabilitation Hospital provides a welcoming and collaborative environment where nurses, medical officers, allied health professionals, HealthShare staff and security work together to deliver exceptional person-centred care. Our service takes a planned and holistic approach to rehabilitation, supporting patients on their journey from acute care back into the community and helping them regain independence, confidence and quality of life.

What You Will Be Doing

Wingham Rehabilitation Hospital provides inpatient care for up to 16 patients, alongside outpatient and hydrotherapy services. As a Registered Nurse, you will work closely with patients, families and the multidisciplinary team to develop and support individual rehabilitation goals. You will provide high-quality nursing care while promoting recovery, independence and positive health outcomes.

You will utilise a broad range of clinical skills including care planning, medication management, wound care, clinical documentation and patient safety initiatives such as falls prevention, pressure injury management and manual handling practices.
