An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dedicated healthcare professional to join a dynamic regional health service as a full-time Associate Nurse Unit Manager (ANUM). This pivotal leadership role is embedded within a versatile practice environment that encompasses both a high-functioning Acute Ward and a fast-paced Urgent Care Department. The successful candidate will work out of a modern, well-equipped facility designed to deliver exceptional, person-centered care. Operating as a critical link in the clinical hierarchy, the ANUM will collaborate closely with the Nurse Unit Manager, leading a diverse and collaborative team composed of skilled clinicians, dedicated administrative personnel, and specialized Chronic Disease Management (CDM) support staff. The practice operates under a comprehensive billing structure that ensures equitable access to care for the entire community, allowing clinicians to focus entirely on patient outcomes. The position offers an exceptional degree of clinical autonomy, empowering the ANUM to monitor standards of care, manage resources efficiently, and make critical decisions during timely clinical interventions. Beyond daily floor leadership, this role provides fertile ground for professional growth, offering robust support for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and clear pathways to supervisor opportunities for those looking to mentor the next generation of nursing staff. The health service actively champions diverse clinical special interests, allowing nurses to cultivate niche skills in areas like emergency triage, complex acute care, or rural health initiatives. To ensure a healthy work-life balance, the organization provides highly flexible working arrangements, accommodating the personal and professional needs of its workforce. Located in a region celebrated for its stunning natural landscapes and vibrant community spirit, this role pairs a fulfilling career with enviable lifestyle benefits. The surrounding area offers a relaxed, welcoming environment perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, families, and anyone seeking a escape from metropolitan congestion. The health service is deeply committed to building an inclusive, equal-opportunity workplace that reflects its core organizational values of respect, integrity, compassion, excellence, and community. Applications are warmly welcomed from individuals of all backgrounds—including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, workers of all ages, people with disabilities, the LGBTQIA community, and culturally diverse individuals—who possess at least five years of post-graduate acute experience and a passion for multidisciplinary teamwork.
