About The Opportunity
Are you a compassionate and experienced nurse with a passion for End of Life Care? We are seeking a dedicated End of Life Care Coordinator to join our multidisciplinary team. In this pivotal role, you will provide expert clinical leadership and coordination of care for patients approaching the end of life, ensuring dignity, comfort, and support for both patients and their families. You will work closely with medical, nursing, and allied health professionals to implement best practice models of care and facilitate education and support across the facility.
As a Clinical Nurse Specialist Grade 2, you will bring advanced clinical knowledge, strong communication skills, and a commitment to person-centred care. Your ability to lead quality improvement initiatives and mentor staff will be key to enhancing the delivery of end-of-life care across our health service. If you are ready to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others, we would love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
The Clinical Nurse Specialist Grade 2 End of Life Care Coordinator (CNS2 EoLCC) will provide safe, compassionate, quality, person centered specialist care to support the delivery of End-of-Life Care (EoLC) across South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD).
