One of the Most Rewarding Community Nursing Roles in Australia

At MARS Recruitment, we partner with organisations that don't just deliver care, they set the benchmark for what great care should look like. Right now, we're working with a highly respected, values-led, not-for-profit provider making a genuine difference across the Mid-North and Yorke Peninsula.

This organisation is progressive, community-first, and genuinely ahead of the curve. With reform on the horizon and growth underway, they are expanding their senior clinical leadership team and are seeking an exceptional Registered Nurse who wants to shape the future of community-based aged care.

If you're looking for a role where your clinical expertise, leadership capability, and values actually matter, this is it.

Why This Role Is Special

• This is not a standard community nursing role.
• This is a senior, influential RN position where you'll combine advanced clinical practice with leadership, mentoring, governance, and service development. You'll work across Home Care Packages and broader community services, supporting people to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own homes.
• You'll have real autonomy, the trust of an experienced leadership team, and the opportunity to leave a lasting impact, not just on individual clients, but on how services are designed and delivered into the future.

What You'll Be Doing (and Loving)

• Clinical Excellence & Complex Care
• Lead comprehensive assessments and care planning for clients with complex health, cognitive, functional, and social needs
• Provide expert clinical oversight, consultation, and decision-making in the community setting
• Proactively respond to changes in condition, deterioration, and risk escalation
• Ensure care is evidence-based, person-centred, and aligned with contemporary community nursing standards

Leadership, Mentorship & Influence

• Be a trusted clinical leader across Community Services
• Mentor, coach, and support nurses and care coordinators to build confidence and capability
• Guide best-practice decision-making and model high-quality clinical reasoning
• Act as a go-to expert for complex cases and emerging clinical issues

Service Development & Reform Readiness

• Play a key role in preparing and embedding the Support at Home program
• Contribute to clinical governance, quality improvement, and accreditation readiness
• Support the development and implementation of clinical pathways, protocols, and frameworks
• Partner with operational leaders to ensure sustainable, high-quality service delivery

Connection & Collaboration

• Work closely with GPs, allied health, hospitals, assessors, and external providers
• Build strong relationships with consumers, families, and community stakeholders
• Represent Community Services in governance forums and cross-organisational initiatives

About You

• You're a confident, capable Registered Nurse who thrives in the community space and wants more than "just another role."
• You're clinically sharp, calm under pressure, and genuinely passionate about supporting people to live their best possible lives at home. You enjoy mentoring others, improving systems, and being part of meaningful change.

You'll Bring:

• Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse
• 4+ years' experience in community nursing, home care, or similar settings
• Strong understanding of HCP, CHSP, and Aged Care Quality Standards
• Proven experience supporting reform, quality improvement, or service development
• Excellent communication, organisation, and clinical judgement

Bonus Points For:

• Exposure to Support at Home reform
• Care package budgeting or financial management experience
• Experience across restorative care, reablement, or palliative pathways

What's In It for You

• This organisation genuinely invests in its people - clinically, professionally, and personally.

• Flexible working arrangements that respect work-life balance
• Ongoing professional development and training
• Employee Assistance Program
