Nurse Navigator (Generalist)
Gladstone
Some consumers need more than an appointment - they need someone who can connect the dots, champion their care and make sure they don't get lost navigating the health system. As a Nurse Navigator, you'll bring services, specialists and communities together to support people living with complex health conditions.
Put your advanced clinical knowledge and leadership skills to work where coordination can change someone's entire healthcare experience. With negotiable hours (56 - 64 hours per fortnight), a six-month opportunity (possible extension), professional development allowance and leave, there's plenty to make this opportunity worth exploring.
