The Opportunity

A healthcare recruiter is shortlisting Registered Nurses for permanent aged care roles in regional South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales. Each employer is an established aged care organisation, positions come in full-time and part-time forms, and a few locations are ready for an immediate start.

From a recruiter's point of view, the strongest applications show current AHPRA registration, hands-on clinical care in residential aged care and a clear reason for wanting a permanent life in a regional community. New graduate RNs can still compete if they have AIN experience in residential aged care or overseas RN experience, so make that history easy to find.

Applications are open to people already in Australia with full working rights. Once you have six months in the role behind you, a pathway to visa sponsorship is offered.

Tailor your CV to the duties listed here and put examples of multidisciplinary teamwork next to your clinical experience. Use Build AI CV to tailor your aged care nursing CV so it reads well to a busy recruiter.
