What's involved – The Palliative Care Clinical Nurse (PC CN) is an experienced professional with clinical knowledge in palliative care, symptom management, and End-of-Life care planning. The position offers an exciting and innovative opportunity for a Clinical Nurse to collaborate with the Specialist Palliative Care Team. This role requires the nurse to practice autonomously while providing leadership, support, and education to patients, families, and staff within the Central West HHS. This service operates five days a week and works alongside community-based services, Specialist Palliative Care Rural Telehealth (SPaRTa), GP's, hospital inpatient teams, and multidisciplinary Allied Health services.

As a member of the Primary Health Team, the role will work collaboratively and more broadly with the team and across Central West HHS to ensure continued focus on strategic priorities and delivery of operational imperatives.

About Central West Hospital and Health Service - Our diverse and rewarding work environment is as unique and dynamic as Central West Queensland itself.  Our far-reaching health services cover a region of almost 20.6 percent of Queensland, encompasses seven local government areas, and reaches 18 unique and lively communities.

Expansive in the true sense of the word, the region opens new horizons painted in red earth, blue sky and burnt orange sunsets.  It might feel miles away from urban life, but we are just a two-hour flight from Brisbane – well within reach of the city and South East Queensland's beautiful beaches.

Your benefits include:

  • generous employer superannuation contribution up to 12.75%;
  • salary packaging to increase your take home pay;
  • 17.5% annual leave loading;
  • career development opportunities;
  • CWH provided housing or rental assistance

The locals will tell you a role with CWH is more than a job, and a life in Central West Queensland is as iconic as the region that defines it.  Be prepared to be embraced by warm, welcoming and close-knit communities, and caring for and living among the people you work with to make a difference in their lives and yours, every day.
