Registered Nurse

You trained to make a real difference. Are you actually getting the chance to?

In a busy acute setting, it is easy to feel like you are moving patients through a system rather than caring for people. Aged care is different, and BaptistCare is different again.

At Heritage Manor in Morwell, you will know your residents by name, build genuine relationships, and have the time and support to deliver care the way it should be done. We are looking for up to two part-time Registered Nurses to cover our vacant hours, though we would love to find one exceptional person who can take on the full load. If you are looking for a role where your clinical skills and your values are equally valued, this is it.

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT

• $43.58 to $55.31 per hour plus NFP salary packaging up to $18,550 per year, one of the most competitive take-home packages in the sector.
• Approximately 50 hours per fortnight, with shift arrangements discussed directly with the site manager following a successful interview.
• A care team that backs you. Strong values, a supportive environment, and real clinical leadership opportunities.
• Ongoing training and professional development. Your growth matters here.
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP), wellbeing support when you need it.
