As one of the leading providers of aged residential and community care, Blue Care has been welcomed into the homes of friends and families for decades. Our story began from one person’s genuine desire to service Queenslanders and improve the lives of those in need of care. Today, we’re located in over 260 communities and visit more than 3 million homes annually, continuing our legacy of enabling people to live life their way.

We’re inviting applications from Registered Nurses with a passion for person-centred care to bring their skills to Townsville, in Tropical North Queensland!

Your community.

As the fourth largest region in Queensland, Townsville offers all the convenience of a major city with the lifestyle and scenery of tropical North Queensland. Whether you're after an adventure, or you just want to take advantage of the (average) 320 days of sunshine Townsville is blessed with per year, one thing's for sure: you will find plenty to do. From diving shipwrecks, snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef and island-hopping to strolls along the foreshore and a packed calendar of events – you’ll see, do and learn more in Townsville.

We’ll look after you too:

As the largest not-for-profit provider of Hospital, Family, Aged and Community Services in Queensland, UnitingCare delivers services in over 400 locations - offering the opportunity to advance your career from Coomera to Katherine and almost everywhere in between. We offer:

• Charity salary packaging to pay benefits and living expenses from pre-income tax
• Flexible work arrangements, where we emphasise a work-life balance
• Access to financial, retail and lifestyle discounts and benefits
• Learning and development to support you in your role

We’ll also offer relocation and accommodation assistance to support your move!

Your role.

You’ll provide holistic nursing care to your residents, ensuring a safe environment and applying your clinical skills to enhance their quality of life - including their physical, social and emotional needs.  You’ll work collaboratively alongside a multi-disciplinary team, applying your clinical expertise and supporting one another to deliver exceptional care - identifying opportunities for continuous improvements centred on resident’s health and wellness.

You’ll present with:

• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills
