Apply your nursing / midwifery experience to deliver culturally sensitive care to Territorians across a range of clinical areas and locations.
The Department of Health manages the Northern Territory public health system, operating as one system across 5 regions, providing the full spectrum of essential, quality health services, from health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care across the life course.
Positions are primarily based at Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) a 370-bed university teaching hospital that provides a broad range of services in all specialty areas to the Darwin urban population as well as serving as a referral centre to the whole Top End of the Northern Territory (NT). Due to service expansion and the establishment of a new mental health ward at RHD, additional nursing and midwifery staff are required to support a range of speciality areas including emergency, intensive care, midwifery, operating theatre, ICU and mental health – as well as in regional hospitals.
As a Nurse/Midwife (N2) you will deliver high-quality, patient-centred care at Royal Darwin and Palmerston Regional Hospital, or at your choice of any regional hospital in Alice Springs, Katherine, Tennant Creek or Nhulunbuy.
Responsibilities include the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of nursing and midwifery care as well as contributing to the delivery of mental health services. You will be required to contribute towards maintaining a physically, culturally, and psychosocially safe environment for patients and staff.
To be successful, you require current registration as a Nurse/Midwife with current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, and beyond-entry-to-practice certificate to secure ongoing employment and proven clinical knowledge delivering mental health services. Suitable applicants that have not completed a beyond-entry-to-practice certificate will be offered a 2-year fixed period contract to facilitate achieving the certificate.
In return, you will enjoy the benefits of a competitive remuneration with salary packaging options, 12% Superannuation, 6 weeks recreational and 3 weeks personal leave, flexible work agreements, and an opportunity to further your professional development in NT Health. Generous allowances and support with relocation will be provided.
These roles offer you the opportunity to live and work in the Northern Territory’s Top End, experiencing a unique lifestyle, vibrant multicultural communities, and access to some of Australia’s more remarkable natural landscapes.
