Registered Nurses

South West Hospital and Health Service has multiple opportunities for Registered Nurses to join our team at Westhaven Aged Care Facility in Roma. If you are a Registered Nurse (RN) and seeking a rural and remote experience, this opportunity is for you.

Join us in building better health in the bush!

Your opportunity

The Registered Nurse must provide compassionate person-centred nursing care within the rural/remote context.

Successful Registered Nurses must demonstrate competence in the provision of nursing care as specified by registration requirements, NMBA standards and codes, educational preparations, relevant legislation, and context of care.

Your role will involve a roster pattern on shift work. There will be occasions that you will be required to cover clinical on call after hours.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.

Roma is the largest town in the Maranoa Region and offers an array of city-like conveniences with friendly country hospitality. Servicing a catchment population of almost 14,000, Westhaven is a small residential aged care facility where care is provided in a family like environment within the broader Roma community. A great place for families in a region traditionally rich with oil and gas and farming industries, Roma boasts and an abundance of sports, recreation and schooling options. With annual events such as Easter in the Country and the Roma Races, Roma is fast becoming renowned for its enthusiasm in bringing world class Festivals and Events to the local area, showcasing their community spirit; the same community feel that makes Roma a career move you will wish you had made earlier.
