Requisition ID: REQ683839

Application close date: Thursday 17th September 2026

At the Transition to Residential Aged Care Unit, you will do more than provide nursing care. You will support older people and their families through an important transition in their lives, helping each person feel safe, respected and supported throughout their care journey.

Our 20-bed unit provides acute nursing care alongside compassionate, person-centred support for patients transitioning into residential aged care.

As an Enrolled Nurse, you will provide high-quality geriatric, palliative and supportive care while developing meaningful relationships with patients, families and carers. You will play an important role in ensuring care is delivered with dignity, compassion and respect.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be part of a collaborative and supportive team committed to delivering high-quality care tailored to each patient’s individual needs.

In this role, you will:

• Provide safe, effective and person-centred nursing care to patients and their families.
• Support patients, families and carers to understand their care needs and participate in informed decision-making.

• Contribute to the education, supervision and support of students and colleagues, where appropriate.
• Promote dignity, independence and quality of life for older people throughout their care journey.

About You

You’re an Enrolled Nurse who sees the person behind the patient — someone who brings compassion, patience and a genuine desire to make a difference.

You’ll thrive in a role where every day is an opportunity to support someone through an important stage of their life. You’ll bring:

• Current Authority to Practice as an Enrolled Nurse with AHPRA.
• Genuine interest in older people and geriatric nursing.
• Caring approach to aged care, dementia and medical nursing.
• Ability to build positive relationships with patients, families and carers.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to adapt to changing patient needs while delivering safe, person-centred care.
• Enthusiasm to learn, grow and develop in a supportive team.

Grow Your Career in the Transition to Residential Aged Care Unit

You do not need extensive aged care experience to make a meaningful contribution in this role. Junior Enrolled Nurses are encouraged to apply, with education and clinical support available five days a week to help you build confidence and develop your skills.

You will work alongside an experienced and supportive team while developing your knowledge and experience across geriatric nursing, dementia care, palliative care and the transition to residential aged care.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your nursing career while making a genuine difference to older people, their families and carers during an important stage of their lives.

The Perks

At Hunter New England Health, you'll enjoy a career where you're challenged by rewarding work, supported to grow professionally. You will enjoy:

• 6 weeks annual leave (for eligible full time nurses)
• Paid parental leave (for eligible employees) - giving you the opportunity for true Worklife balance.
• Salary packaging options - up to $11,600 plus novated leasing
• Fitness Passport for health and well-being - discounted gym options for you and your family

About the Opportunity

An exciting opportunity is available for an Emergency Nurse Practitioner or Transitional Nurse Practitioner to join the Emergency Department at Cessnock Hospital. You’ll work alongside two experienced and endorsed Nurse Practitioners who have helped shape and develop the role over the past few years. You’ll also be supported by a roster of GP Visiting Medical Officers with diverse specialty skills, together with a highly skilled and collaborative team of nurses, radiographers and support staff. The culture is friendly, team-oriented and grounded in mutual respect, collaboration and shared learning. You’ll have the opportunity to work with a high degree of autonomy while knowing you have an experienced team around you when you need it. Cessnock is located just an hour west of Newcastle and the coast. Set in the heart of the Hunter Valley, the area is known for its vineyards, eclectic shops and strong connections to the region’s mining and energy industries, offering a great balance of country lifestyle and modern convenience. Our Level 3 District Hospital Emergency Department has six treatment spaces and manages approximately 22,000 presentations each year, averaging around 50 presentations per day. While the majority of presentations are lower acuity, the department still provides variety and clinical challenge, including occasional acute and complex presentations requiring stabilisation and transfer.

You will:

How You’ll Be Supported

You’ll work closely with the two experienced Nurse Practitioners currently based within the service, providing an established clinical support network as you develop within the role. Your orientation will include time to become familiar with local systems, protocols, processes and workflows.

Ongoing professional development is actively encouraged, with access to:

• 10% paid non-clinical time for professional activities.
• Education and professional support through the Nurse Practitioner Network and its established education framework.
• Emergency Stream education sessions, including the EMET program.
• Learning resources through CIAP (Clinical Information Access Portal).
• Networking, education and skills development opportunities across the Local Health District.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Emergency Nurse Practitioner looking for autonomy, variety and professional growth, while being part of a supportive rural team with experienced Nurse Practitioners who understand the role and are invested in its continued development.

About you

We’re looking for a confident, adaptable and clinically capable Nurse Practitioner who enjoys working collaboratively while bringing strong independent clinical judgement to the role.

You will bring:

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage respectfully with people from diverse backgrounds.
• A collaborative approach and confidence working alongside GPVMOs, nursing staff and other members of the multidisciplinary team.
• Strong clinical assessment, decision-making and problem-solving skills.
• A commitment to ongoing professional development and evidence-based practice.
• A friendly, proactive attitude and willingness to contribute to all aspects of the ED.
• The ability to work autonomously while recognising when to seek advice or escalate complex clinical presentations.

Essential Requirements

• Current registration as a Registered Nurse with AHPRA.
• Current endorsement as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner, or evidence of substantial progress towards endorsement as a Transitional Nurse Practitioner.
• For Transitional Nurse Practitioners, the appointment will be temporary for up to three years to enable the clinician to work towards Nurse Practitioner endorsement.
