About the role

As a Nurse Educator, you’ll play a vital role in shaping the capability, confidence and ongoing development of our nursing workforce. Drawing on your clinical expertise, you will deliver high-quality education, training and learning experiences that support safe, consistent and evidence-based practice across the Emergency Department. You’ll provide a broad range of professional support services, from coordinating daily in-services to facilitating clinical teaching, reviewing competency modules, maintaining accurate development records and supporting clinicians as they undertake local teaching and assessment.

  • Clinically qualified and experienced, with current (or eligible) registration as a Nurse/Midwife, at least three years’ post-registration experience, and a solid foundation in nursing education, staff development and relevant education theory.

  • A confident educator and communicator, skilled in designing, delivering and evaluating education programs, presenting to diverse audiences, supervising students and supporting peers through preceptorship and clinical development.

  • A collaborative and adaptable leader, demonstrating strong problem-solving, negotiation and conflict resolution skills, with the ability to prioritise under pressure, manage change and apply innovative approaches to teaching in a dynamic healthcare environment.

  • Knowledgeable and committed to best practice, with sound understanding of legislation, standards and protocols—including ANZ Resuscitation Guidelines, Quality Improvement systems and National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards—and a passion for promoting consumer engagement and safe, high-quality care.
