Make a Difference in Older Persons Care

Join CALHN’s Care of the Older Person and Community Transition (CO-ACT) team at Hampstead and experience a different kind of nursing environment—one where the focus is on taking the time to connect and care.

Working within a connected multidisciplinary team, you’ll support older people transitioning  into  community or residential aged care supports. Here, the focus is on patient-centred care, meaningful connection and seeing the impact of your work over time.

CO-ACT at Hampstead focuses on the unique pace and environment at Hampstead, where nurses have more opportunity to:

• Build rapport with patients and families
• Deliver connected, person-centred care
• Work collaboratively across nursing, allied health and support services
• Contribute to recovery and long-term outcomes
• Grow their career within a supportive team environment

Set within the leafy surrounds of Hampstead, this is a workplace that offers a calmer and more considered pace of care—without losing the complexity, collaboration and professional fulfilment that makes nursing meaningful.
