Registered Nurse
The Opportunity
In a 20-bed home every nurse is noticed, which is why hiring managers at small sites weigh attitude as heavily as skill. The opening here is part-time, for a Registered Nurse at an aged care home near Grafton, New South Wales, and the organisation behind it is a not-for-profit.
Look at the adjectives it uses, which are motivated, enthusiastic and passionate about person-centred care. Then look at the practical asks, namely dementia nursing, clinical problem-solving, clear communication and shifts on various days. It also says visa sponsorship will be considered for the right candidate.
Our advice is to give evidence for the attitude words. A short account of a resident whose care you improved says more than the phrase "team player" ever will. Have your immunisation records and registration certificate on hand in case they are requested.
Your CV should carry the same proof in brief, under AHPRA registration and a summary of your aged care work. Try Build AI CV to turn your nursing experience into shortlist-ready CV points.
