Registered Nurse

About the business

South Australia's leading Orthopaedic clinic, providing patients with a complete recovery pathway. We coordinate surgery and anaesthesia as well as physiotherapy, mobility aids and transport to and from hospital with our network of preferred specialist partners to minimise out-of-pocket costs for our patients.

About the role

The Joint Replacement Clinic is looking for a proactive, organised and people-focused Registered Nurse to support our Orthopaedic Surgeons and help deliver an exceptional patient experience. This is a fixed-term position of approximately 6 months, covering a period of parental leave.

This is a clinical position to support the daily operations of our business such as consultations, onboarding, patient management, services coordination, wound clinics and hospital visits. You’ll be working within a small clinical team, but will be an important support for Surgeons, patients and the administration team and a reliable key contributor to the smooth running of the practice.

• Prompt in sharing information to support efficient workflow and patient care

• A positive contributor to team culture
