Aspen Medical • Full-time • Brisbane, QLD, AU • 3w ago

Job Description

The NT Remote Locum Program is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led remote health workforce program. We work to strengthen and uplift existing health services in the NT to provide quality healthcare to their communities.

We are looking for skilled and experienced Registered Midwife / RN to work as part of a holistic community health service team. You will be supported by highly experienced Aboriginal health practitioners, General Practitioners, nurses, drivers and administration staff. The team’s remote knowledge will assist and guide you to provide culturally safe primary healthcare.

Essential experience and qualifications:

Evidence of unrestricted registration as registered nurse and registered midwife with AHPRA
Minimum 3 years of postgraduate experience in midwifery
Minimum of 2 years Postgraduate experience as a Registered Nurse
Minimum of 250 hours of relevant clinical experience within the past 12 months
Current basic life support (BLS)/ CPR certificate
Current recognised Immunisation certificate
Current Northern Territory Working with Children’s Card

What’s in it for you?

We’ll take care of the arrangements for your placement, talking to you and the health service you will be joining throughout the process.

As you transition to a remote setting, we provide cultural orientation and ongoing support so you can concentrate on providing a quality primary healthcare service to the community.

As an urban-based Registered Midwife, you already have the skills to work in a remote community. But the health issues you work with in remote communities might be different to those in urban and rural areas. You can expect to expand your skills and knowledge and we provide plenty of resources to support your new experiences, including the NT Remote Locum Program eLearning program.

So you can transition smoothly, we will provide:

free online training valid for CPD with ACRRM
24/7 support
information about the community where your placement is, and logistical information about travelling to, living and working there.

Apply now!
