Practice Nurse

Portland Family Practice is seeking a friendly, capable and motivated Practice Nurse to join our busy and supportive general practice team.

We are a small but busy clinic with five GPs, providing a broad range of healthcare services to our local community. We are looking for a nurse who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, is confident working both independently and as part of a team, and genuinely enjoys building relationships with patients.

About the Role

As a Practice Nurse, you will work closely with our GPs, nursing and administration team to provide high-quality patient care.

Your duties will include:

• Immunisations and vaccinations
• Wound care and dressings
• Health assessments and chronic disease management
• Assisting GPs with care plans and preventative health activities
• ECGs, spirometry and other clinical procedures
• Patient recalls and follow-up
• Infection control and sterilisation
• Cold chain and vaccine management
• Stock management and maintaining clinical rooms
• Assisting with minor procedures
• General nursing support to our doctors and patients

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

• A Registered Nurse or Enrolled Nurse with current AHPRA registration
• Friendly, reliable and professional
• Organised and able to manage competing priorities
• Comfortable working in a busy general practice environment
• A strong communicator with a patient-focused approach
• Able to work independently while also being a supportive team member
• Proactive and willing to help wherever needed

Previous general practice experience is highly regarded; however, we are also happy to consider the right nurse who is keen to develop their skills in general practice.

Experience with MedicalDirector and Pracsoft would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why Join Us?

We are a small team, which means every person plays an important role in the day-to-day running of our clinic. We value teamwork, communication and providing a welcoming environment for both our patients and staff.

This is a great opportunity for a nurse looking for variety in their role and the chance to become an integral part of a busy community medical practice.

Hours and days are negotiable for the right candidate.

If this sounds like the role for you, we would love to hear from you.

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your experience and availability.

Pay: $35.00 – $45.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
