  Where you'll be working:
  Step into the forefront of innovation and help reshape the future of urgent care for children and young people, aged 0-17, across NSW. We've partnered seamlessly with Sydney Children's Hospital Network to pioneer a new era of virtual paediatric care, and we invite you to be part of this transformation.
  Our Mission: Our mission is simple yet impactful: redirecting children away from unnecessary hospital visits. We're on a path to redefine healthcare by offering high-quality care, education, and collaboration directly to the homes of young patients.
  Our Workspace: Located in Charlestown, our workspace fosters collaboration and knowledge-sharing. We encourage an environment of continuous learning and teamwork, setting the stage for a rewarding journey ahead.
  
  About the role:
  Paediatric trained Nurses: As a Virtual Urgent Care Nurse, you'll be at the heart of our dynamic team. Expect to handle redirected calls from Health Direct, cases that would have traditionally gone to the Emergency Department. Equipped with advanced decision-making software and video assessments, you'll adeptly assess patient acuity. If escalation is required, our medical officers will be available. At the conclusion of your assessment, you will coordinate smooth transfer to the local Emergency Department, Urgent Care Centres, GPs, or self-care.
  The Role in Motion: Embrace a dynamic routine with rotating shifts – spanning mornings to evenings, seven days a week. Each day offers fresh challenges and opportunities to make a difference.
  • Clinical initiatives for nurse training will be highly regarded.
  • Paediatric experience within an ED or acute ward setting will be highly regarded.
  
  Requirements:
  • Current registration as a Registered Nurse with AHPRA.
  
  Benefits:
  • Sustainable Healthcare: Together towards zero
  • ADO's each month (for full time employees)
  • 6 weeks annual leave (for eligible full-time nurses, pro-rata for part-time employees)
  • Salary packaging options
  • Fitness Passport
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for staff and family members
  • Opportunity to work and collaborate with a range of non-clinical and clinical professionals.
  
  Your skill set:
  • Strong paediatric knowledge – check!

  • ️ Excellent communication skills – check!

  • Comfort with technology – check!
  We're seeking individuals who thrive in uncertain situations. If you're adaptable, quick to learn new skills and a resourceful problem solver, we'd love to have you on board.
  Guidance and Support: The nursing team is led by the NUM and supported by the NSW Virtual Urgent Care Project Manager. Comprehensive education and training will be provided to ensure you're well-prepared to navigate our virtual care environment and associated platforms.
  
  Are You Ready to Shape the Future of Care? If you're prepared to be a part of this ground-breaking shift in healthcare, seize the opportunity today! Join a team that's rewriting the narrative of paediatric care and embark on a professional journey that holds exceptional promise.
