Registered Nurse - Home Care - Wattletree Health Group

We Are Hiring!

Experienced Home Care Registered Nurses

Wattletree Health Group is urgently hiring experienced home care registered nurses, passionate about delivering comprehensive and exceptional nursing services in the home environment.

ABOUT WATTLETREE HEALTH GROUP

Wattletree Health Group is a nurse-owned and driven provider of nursing services in the home care space.

We have an amazing team and even more amazing clients. It’s a privilege to do the work we do, and this role will be perfect for someone ready to leverage their current nursing skills and client-focused approach on our mission to continued growth and thriving reputation in this space. This is nursing care at its best.

Our model of care is a preventative approach. Our goal is to minimise hospitalisation visits for issues that can be addressed and resolved in the home care space, given the right expertise and management. Our goal is to minimise risk and harm to the client, aligned with informed decisions and best outcomes.

The ‘Wattletree Way’ is a comprehensive, wholistic approach to expert nursing care that allows our team to journey with our clients, with the inherent understanding that human function across the ages is never ‘set and forget’ or static, that we adapt our care to the client’s needs and show up for them when and how they need us to. We deep dive into the possibilities of reversible causes and commit to supporting them via face-to-face visits and telehealth contact. We exercise our full scope of nursing practice to collaborate with other clinicians and physicians to achieve the best outcomes possible. Our nurses want us to tell you:

“It’s the nursing you were trained for, in the perfect environment, to challenge you, problem solve and action, and implement all that you know. We don’t punch in and punch out; we are making a massive difference by bridging that gap of thorough care everyday – RN CF”

Home & Community Nursing is the NOW and the future of our health care. Nursing in the community is changing…we are here to educate, innovate and demonstrate to the community that nursing is not the task-driven service they are settling for. Our team is that difference…shining our torch on our clients with the Wattletree Way of service they are deserving of.
