Where you’ll be working
Welcome to our medical ward – the place where no two shifts ever look the same. It’s fast, reactive and full of variety: stroke care, telemetry, dialysis, respiratory, diabetes management, dementia, delirium and eating‑disorder support. Med 1 brings high‐acuity action while the broader ward provides a huge skill range to flex and develop. If you love learning on your feet, you’ll thrive here.
About the role
You’ll be at the centre of the action, providing person‑centred care and working closely with patients and their families through a variety of clinical journeys. You’ll advocate, support, educate and respond to rapidly changing situations with confidence, collaborating with ENs, AINs and the wider team, delegating appropriately and stepping in wherever needed. It’s busy, rewarding work where you make a real difference every shift.
About you
You’re fun‑loving, team‑minded and bring good vibes to the floor. You communicate clearly, aren’t afraid to pitch in and appreciate a workplace where everyone supports each other. A sense of humour is basically part of the uniform. If you’re adaptable, curious and ready to learn, you’ll fit right in.
How we support you
You won’t be doing this solo. You’ll receive solid corporate and ward‑based orientation with dedicated Clinical Nurse Educators on both wards and ongoing support from Tracey and the whole crew. You’ll feel welcomed, backed and encouraged from day one.
