Job details

Your opportunity

The Mental Health Triage Clinical Nurse Role is pivotal to the mental health service, representing the first point of contact for people seeking assistance. The Clinical Nurse practices autonomously and within a multidisciplinary team to provide mental health services within a rural / remote health service setting.

The Mental Health Triage Clinical Nurse is responsible for a portfolio with a focus on clinical care/leadership, management, education and/or research. The clinical nurse assumes responsibility for professional leadership when working within a multidisciplinary team and applies critical thinking across all the domains. Working in an environment committed to making the patient the centre of care, you will make a difference to how the mental health service engages with the patient, the community, and the wider health service.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.

Roma is the largest town in the Maranoa Region servicing a catchment population of almost 14,000 and offers an array of city-like conveniences with friendly country hospitality. Roma's newly built hospital hosts an extensive list of services with state of the art facilities. A great place for families in a region traditionally rich with oil and gas and farming industries, Roma boasts an abundance of sports, recreation and schooling options. With annual events such as Easter in the Country and the Roma Races, Roma is fast becoming renowned for its enthusiasm in bringing world class Festivals and Events to the local area, showcasing their community spirit; the same community feel that makes Roma a career move you will wish you had made earlier.
