About Us
Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District (NBMLHD) is an exceptional environment to advance your career while enhancing your skills and expertise. As a recognised leader in the healthcare industry, we deliver a comprehensive range of public health services across the Nepean, Blue Mountains, and Lithgow Regions.
The Primary Care and Community Health Unit consists of 9 centres that provide a range of services for children, young people and their families, adults, older people and their carers. Our services range from health promotion, prevention and early detection through to assessment, treatment and continuing care. Our staff work in partnership with schools, GPs, hospitals, non-government agencies and other organisations to provide care across our centres, in people’s homes, other community venues as well as virtual care (telehealth).
Our Lemongrove Campus is seeking a Registered Nurse to join the team. As a Community Health Registered Nurse, you will deliver person-centred, evidence-based nursing care that supports individuals, carers, and families to achieve the best possible health and wellbeing outcomes while maintaining independence in their own homes and communities.
In this rewarding role, you will work collaboratively with clients, families, General Practitioners, and multidisciplinary healthcare teams to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate care in line with Primary Health Care principles and the Australian Aged Care Quality Standards. Your practice will encompass a diverse range of clinical services, including wound management, chronic disease support, continence care, and palliative care, delivered across both community and clinic settings.
This position offers a broad and varied scope of practice, providing opportunities to coordinate care for clients with complex health needs, contribute to clinical decision-making, and support positive health outcomes for some of the community’s most vulnerable members. You will also play an important role in mentoring and supporting Enrolled Nurses, students, and less experienced staff, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development.
As part of a collaborative and supportive team, you will be committed to delivering culturally responsive care, maintaining high clinical standards, and ensuring resources are used effectively to meet service and patient needs. Working on a 7-day rotating roster, you will enjoy a dynamic work environment where every day brings new challenges and opportunities to make a difference. A uniform is required for this position.
If you are passionate about community nursing and are seeking a rewarding career where you can build meaningful relationships with patients while delivering high-quality healthcare close to home, we encourage you to apply.
