Achieve Something Great
South Western Sydney Local Health District's Transitional Aged Care Program (TACP) is seeking an Enrolled Nurse to join the residential based team based in community health. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a unique, multidisciplinary program that focuses on the reablement of older adults as they transition from hospital care into the community. TACP aims to deliver improved health outcomes and maximise quality of life for older people through coordinated, person centred care. In this role, you will work closely with the multidisciplinary team and relevant stakeholders to ensure holistic, high quality care for TACP clients and their families within residential aged care settings.
Are You the Right Fit?
You are an Enrolled Nurse with knowledge and experience working with aged care and/or community populations and a strong interest in supporting older adults through reablement focused care. You bring sound clinical reasoning skills across a diverse range of clinical areas and are confident in assessing TACP clients within residential aged care facilities, contributing to holistic goal setting, developing client centred care and intervention plans, and supporting effective discharge planning. You work well within a team environment and value collaboration, working closely with a Registered Nurse and other members of the multidisciplinary team to deliver safe, evidence based and person centred care.
