Registered Nurse

  • Casual

You trained to make a real difference. Are you actually getting the chance to?

In a busy acute setting, it’s easy to feel like you’re moving patients through a system rather than caring for people. Aged care is different — and Baptistcare is different again.

At our residential aged care home in Morwell, you’ll know your residents by name, build genuine relationships, and have the time and support to deliver care the way it should be done. If you’re looking for a role where your clinical skills and your values are equally valued, this is it.

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT

  • $43.57 – $55.31 per hour, plus NFP salary packaging up to $18,550 — one of the most competitive take-home packages in the sector.
  • Part-time hours across weekdays and weekends — genuine work-life balance built into the role.
  • A care team that backs you — strong values, a supportive environment, and real clinical leadership opportunities.
  • Ongoing training and professional development — your growth matters here.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) — wellbeing support when you need it.

THE ROLE

As a Registered Nurse at Baptistcare Heritage Manor Community, you’ll provide safe, high-quality, person-centred clinical care while leading and supporting the care team around you. This is a role with real clinical responsibility and real human connection.

  • Deliver safe, high-quality clinical care that keeps residents’ health, wellbeing, and dignity at the centre
  • Lead and support care staff, ensuring practice is within scope and standards are upheld
  • Maintain clear, respectful communication with residents, families, and colleagues
  • Ensure safe and compliant medication management
  • Contribute actively to continuous improvement and clinical governance
  • Maintain your own professional development and currency within your scope of practice

ABOUT YOU

You don’t need a long history in aged care to thrive here — you need solid clinical foundations, a person-centred mindset, and the drive to lead well.

  • Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse (no conditions or undertakings)
  • Experience in aged care or with elderly people (highly regarded but not essential)
  • Confident clinical leadership — you’re comfortable guiding a care team and holding the standard
  • Strong communicator — clear, respectful, and consistent with residents, families, and staff
  • Comfortable with basic computer literacy, including Microsoft Word and Excel
  • National Police Check (or willingness to obtain)
  • Relevant worker screening as required (NDIS Worker Screening Check / WWCC where applicable)
  • Proof of working rights in Australia
