The Role
We’re currently looking for an Assistant in Nursing to join our team within the Bathurst Correctional Centre. This position requires the employee to undertake activities for which they have the legal authority and competence to perform (please refer to the Scope of Practice document). The person performing the delegated activity is accountable for his or her own actions and to the Registered Nurse (RN). Supervision means the direction and guidance given by a RN to an Assistant in Nursing (AIN). The supervision may be direct or indirect according to the nature of the work delegated to the AIN.
Our Location
No matter how you like to unplug from the world, the Hunter region has you covered. Take a road slowly travelled on horseback (Upper Hunter). Pitch a tent by a quiet river (Barrington Tops). Take a scenic drive, explore beautiful countryside, and discover great family attractions, such as Hunter Valley Zoo and Werakata National Park. Cessnock is the perfect place to disconnect.
Shortland Correctional Centre is a maximum-security facility for male offenders located on the Cessnock Correctional Complex in the Hunter Valley, 151km north-west of Sydney. The clinic covering Sectors 3/4 is perfect for any Registered Nurse who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You will have the opportunity to expand your skillset and increase your responsibility. If you are looking to progress to the next stage of your career, then this is the role for you.
