As a recognised leader in the healthcare industry, we deliver a comprehensive range of public health services across the Nepean, Blue Mountains, and Lithgow Regions.

Introducing the Nepean Adolescent Mental Health Unit (NAHMU), a fresh, purpose built 10-bed facility dedicated to supporting adolescents aged 12 to 17 who are navigating complex and severe mental health challenges. This state-of-the-art inpatient unit is the newest chapter in the Child, Youth and Family Mental Health (CYFMH) story, expanding its reach to provide compassionate, specialised care from the earliest stages of life through to young adulthood. NAHMU isn’t just a place of healing, it’s a vital step forward in empowering young people and their families with the support they need, when they need it most. 

We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Registered Nurse to join the Nepean Adolescent Mental Health Unit (NAMHU), where you will play a key role in delivering high-quality, recovery-focused care across a range of healthcare settings. In this position, you will contribute to positive patient outcomes by providing comprehensive mental health nursing care while supporting individuals on their recovery journey.

As a Registered Nurse within NAMHU, you will take on a leadership role within the nursing team, actively guiding and supporting Enrolled Nurses and Assistants in Nursing. You will provide coaching and mentorship, fostering a collaborative and professional environment that promotes best practice and continuous improvement. Your ability to lead by example will ensure safe, effective, and patient-centered care aligned with established models of practice.

You will be responsible for planning, implementing, and evaluating specialised mental health nursing care in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team that includes medical staff, allied health professionals, peer workers, Aboriginal Health Workers, and Department of Education staff. Your strong clinical judgement, communication skills, and commitment to teamwork will be essential in ensuring coordinated and holistic care delivery.

This is a rewarding opportunity for a Registered Nurse who is passionate about mental health, values teamwork, and is committed to delivering safe, high-quality care in a dynamic and supportive environment.
