Make a Real Impact, Day or Night

At 8am, you may be reviewing a resident’s clinical needs, speaking with their family and helping the team plan the day ahead.

At 2am, the hallways may be quiet, but your calm clinical judgement helps ensure residents remain safe, comfortable and well cared for through the night.

Whatever the hour, you are someone our residents, families and care teams can rely on.

Sundale is seeking established Registered Nurses with demonstrated post-registration clinical experience for permanent part-time positions across our residential aged care homes:

• Coolum: Day and night shifts available
• Rod Voller, Burnside: Night shifts available
• Palmwoods: Night shifts available

Due to the clinical responsibilities and level of autonomy required, these opportunities are best suited to Registered Nurses who are already confident managing resident care, making clinical decisions and providing leadership to the care team.

These roles offer set shifts, meaningful clinical responsibility and the opportunity to provide person-centred care within a supportive team environment. Additional shifts may also be available.

With more than 60 years of service across aged care, community care, retirement communities and affordable housing, Sundale empowers Queenslanders to live their best lives. We aim to do the same for our people.
