About the Role

RN-1  You will provide compassionate, recovery-focused mental health nursing within a supportive clinical environment. This role suits a developing practitioner ready to consolidate skills, build confidence and grow from novice to proficient practice through experience, learning and reflective care.

Working with guidance from Level 2 or 3 Mental Health Nurses, you will deliver person-centred nursing care and individual case management aligned with the National Mental Health Policy and SA Health values. You will support consumers through education, counselling and group work, while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and community partners to promote recovery and positive health outcomes.

RN-2 The Clinical Nurse [CN] provides mental health nursing care in a variety of settings across the MHD. The CN’s practice has been consolidated by experience and/or further study. CNs are expected to demonstrate ongoing practice development from competent to proficient practitioners. The CN accepts accountability for their own practice standards, activities delegated to others and the guidance and development of less experienced staff. The CN role is predominantly clinical in nature; however, CNs may be assigned appropriate portfolios consistent with their career development plan and MHD priorities. CNs may be required to be involved in clinical teaching and/or research; wider or external work on complex or MHD wide projects such as clinical protocols, guidelines and/or process mapping and/or specific activity and/or portfolio responsibility. Within the framework of the National Mental Health Policy and National Standards and in a manner consistent with the stated vision and values of SA Health, the CN, uses the process of nursing to deliver direct and comprehensive nursing care and individual case management to consumers within a designated practice setting. The provision of education, counselling and group work is considered essential components of care which are directed towards the attainment of optimum consumer health and recovery. This involves consultation and liaison with other professional disciplines and non-governmental organisations.
