About Us
Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District (NBMLHD) is an exceptional environment to advance your career while enhancing your skills and expertise. 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.
The Primary Care and Community Health Unit consists of 9 centres that provide a range of services for children, young people and their families, adults, older people and their carers. Our services range from health promotion, prevention and early detection through to assessment, treatment and continuing care. Our staff work in partnership with schools, GPs, hospitals, non-government agencies and other organisations to provide care across our centres, in people’s homes, other community venues as well as virtual care (telehealth).
We are seeking a Registered Nurse to join our Community Health Care team and ensure the provision of wound care to community-based clients in the Penrith LGA. This full‑time role operates Monday to Friday. Uniform is required. The successful incumbent will provide safe, effective secondary‑level nursing support to clients in the community. This role forms part of both the Community Wound Care Team and the broader community nursing service, working under the direction of the Clinical Nurse Unit Manager.
In this position, you will deliver person‑centred care using a flexible, responsive, wellness and reablement approach aligned with the Australian Aged Care Quality and National Standards. You will be responsible for the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of care using evidence‑based guidelines and Primary Health Care principles, working in partnership with clients, families and carers, as well as GPs, specialists and other key stakeholders.
You will provide support, advice and education to Community Nurses, Allied Health professionals, GPs, clients and carers, and participate in relevant Aged Care Quality and National Standards working groups. The role may also require you to provide care across other sites and to other Community Health Centre clients as service needs arise. Additionally, you will supervise Enrolled Nurses and delegate clinical tasks appropriately within their scope of practice.
If you are passionate about delivering high‑quality wound care in a supportive community setting, we encourage you to apply.
