You’ll thrive in Campbelltown ED if you bring a solid foundation of clinical knowledge across emergency, acute and specialty areas such as paediatrics, mental health and aged care. You stay calm under pressure, think on your feet and make sound decisions in fast‑moving situations.
Compassion and empathy guide the way you support patients and families, and you’re committed to delivering care that is truly person‑centred. You communicate clearly, work well within a multidisciplinary team and contribute to a positive, collaborative environment.
You’re proactive about learning, eager to grow your skills and ready to take part in broader departmental activities from supporting pod coordination to assisting with ESSU flow and other initiatives that keep the ED running smoothly. If you’re adaptable, motivated and passionate about making a meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you!
