MediRec is seeking a Registered Nurse to join a small residential aged-care service in regional South Australia.

This is an opportunity to step away from the pace of a large metropolitan health service and become a trusted, familiar presence for residents, families and the wider community.

You'll receive structured support from an experienced Residential Manager while being given the independence to take ownership of your role and make a genuine difference.

Please note: Employer sponsorship is not available for this position. Applicants must have Australian working rights.

What's on Offer

• Base salary from approximately $77,800 to $106,000 plus super, depending on experience
• Up to six months of accommodation and utilities
• Reimbursement for flights or fuel
• Assistance with relocating your belongings
• $1,500 commencement bonus
• Five weeks of annual leave
• Two additional days of travel leave
• Free gym membership
• Structured induction and ongoing support
• Full-time permanent opportunity with relocation assistance

Relocation assistance will be tailored to the successful candidate's circumstances and confirmed during the recruitment process.

The Role

As a Registered Nurse, you'll provide safe, respectful and person-centred care to residents while supporting positive clinical outcomes across the facility.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering high-quality clinical care in a residential aged-care environment
• Completing clinical assessments and responding to changes in residents' health
• Medication management and administration
• Wound assessment and ongoing wound care
• Developing and reviewing individual care plans
• Maintaining accurate clinical documentation
• Communicating with residents, families and other healthcare teams
• Supporting care staff and contributing to a positive team environment
• Providing culturally safe and respectful care within a predominantly Aboriginal community
• Remaining calm and solutions-focused when clinical needs escalate

About You

Aged-care experience is preferred, but it isn't an absolute requirement. Nurses with transferable experience across hospital, emergency, medical, geriatric or community settings are encouraged to apply.

You'll need:

• Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse
• Strong clinical assessment and problem-solving skills
• Confidence with medication management and wound care
• A patient-centred and culturally sensitive approach
• Resilience and the ability to work calmly under pressure
• The ability to work independently and take responsibility for your role
• A genuine interest in aged care and regional community health
• Unrestricted Australian working rights

Why Regional South Australia?

This is more than another nursing position. You'll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, become part of a close-knit regional community and use your clinical skills where they can have a visible impact.

The region offers a relaxed lifestyle, welcoming communities and access to some of South Australia's most spectacular coastline and natural landscapes.

If you're looking for a permanent nursing opportunity where your contribution will be genuinely valued, we'd love to hear from you.
