Healthcare · Newcastle, NSW, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
Looking for a nursing role beyond the hospital ward? A general practice in Newcastle needs a General Practice Registered Nurse on a full-time permanent basis. Experience in general practice is preferable, but on-the-job training will be provided for the right candidate, whether that means chronic disease plans, recall systems or infusions.
The practice also offers Temporary Residence or Permanent Residence sponsorship to the right candidate, which is worth knowing if you are weighing up a move from a hospital role overseas.
