Registered Nurse
Visa sponsorship
Healthcare · Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia · Full-Time · $90,000 - $130,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Wagga Wagga, in regional New South Wales, is the base for a not-for-profit aged care provider owned by its community, which has spent 40 years looking after older people and their families. Its clinical team is growing, and it is hunting for Registered Nurses who are caring, capable and driven.
On shift, the nurse takes the clinical lead, backs up the carers and helps residents keep their dignity, independence and wellbeing, answering to the Deputy Director of Nursing. Time spent in aged care is highly regarded, yet nurses from other clinical areas are welcome to apply. International candidates with the right qualifications can look at employer sponsorship, which depends on eligibility, professional registration, migration rules and sign-off by the organisation.
Open a nursing CV with your registration, then name the clinical work you do most, such as medicines, wound care and care plans. Nurses in Nairobi or Mombasa can tidy the nursing CV through Build AI CV before sending it.
