About the Role

As an Associate Nurse Unit Manager, you will play a key role in providing high-quality nursing and/or midwifery services across a range of health service settings.

This is an exciting opportunity to take a hands-on leadership role in the smooth running of the ward/unit/service while ensuring high standards of care and operational efficiency.

To thrive in this role, you will bring a range of qualifications, experience, and personal attributes that align with our commitment to high-quality care. We are looking for someone who:

• Holds current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, with eligibility for a practicing certificate.
• Has at least 3 years' post-registration experience as a Registered Nurse/Midwife, or is classified as a Clinical Nurse/Midwife.
• Demonstrates strong communication, problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills, with the ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
• Is knowledgeable in contemporary nursing/midwifery practices, relevant legislation, and quality improvement systems, and has experience supervising less experienced staff.
