We’re looking for a passionate, proactive and experienced Registered Nurse / Clinical Care Partner to join our growing team, based in Tweed Heads and supporting clients across Northern NSW and South East Queensland.

This is a rewarding and varied position combining clinical nursing, care coordination, client relationship management and clinical leadership.

You’ll have the opportunity to manage your own portfolio of clients, guide their care journey and help older Australians live independently, safely and confidently in their own homes.

We know great nurses deserve more than just another job.

At Bannister, we value your clinical expertise, professional judgement and ability to make a genuine difference.

Here’s what makes this opportunity special:

* Make a real impact: Build lasting relationships with clients and families, supporting them throughout their care journey.

* Feel valued: Competitive remuneration, recognition for your contribution and a workplace that appreciates initiative, compassion and professionalism.

What does the role involve?

As a Clinical Care Partner, you’ll be much more than a visiting nurse.

You’ll be a trusted clinical professional and key point of contact for your clients, helping them navigate their care options, manage their services and achieve their personal goals.

Your responsibilities will include:

Clinical Care & Leadership

* Conduct comprehensive clinical assessments and identify changing health needs, risks and opportunities for early intervention.

* Develop, implement and review individualised clinical care plans.

* Provide clinical nursing services including wound care, medication management, continence care and other nursing interventions as required.

* Provide clinical guidance, mentoring and support to care partners and support workers.

* Identify and manage clinical risks, respond to incidents and contribute to clinical governance and quality improvement.

* Coordinate specialist clinical services, including dementia, palliative and end-of-life care where required.

Client Relationships & Care Management

* Manage your own portfolio of clients, building strong, trusted relationships with clients and their families.

* Welcome and onboard new clients, completing assessments and developing personalised care arrangements.

* Work collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences and individual circumstances.

* Develop and review Support at Home care plans, budgets and service agreements.

* Monitor client budgets and coordinate services to ensure funding is used effectively and in line with client goals.

* Advocate for clients and support informed decision-making, independence, dignity and choice.

* Conduct regular client reviews and respond proactively to changes in needs or circumstances.

Collaboration & Coordination

* Work closely with GPs, allied health professionals, hospitals and other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated care.

* Facilitate referrals, reassessments and transitions between services.

* Support clients and families to navigate the aged care system and access appropriate services.

* Collaborate with our internal teams to ensure services are responsive, safe and delivered to a high standard.

* Maintain accurate client documentation and ensure compliance with relevant aged care legislation and quality standards.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who brings together clinical confidence, compassion, initiative and exceptional people skills.

Someone who enjoys working independently, takes ownership of their responsibilities and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcomes for clients.

You’ll need:

* Current unrestricted AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse (Division 1).

* A minimum of two years’ post-registration nursing experience, ideally in aged care, community nursing or a related clinical setting.

* Strong clinical assessment, critical thinking and decision-making skills.

* Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities.

* Confidence managing competing priorities and working independently.

* A proactive, organised and solutions-focused approach.

* An understanding of the Aged Care Act 2024, Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards and Support at Home Program, or the ability to quickly develop this knowledge.

* Current First Aid and CPR certification.

* A valid driver’s licence and access to a suitable insured vehicle.

* A valid NDIS Worker Screening Check meeting aged care worker screening requirements.

* Strong computer and documentation skills.

Experience in care management, clinical governance or community aged care would be highly regarded.

Above all, we’re looking for someone who shares our commitment to delivering exceptional, person-centred care and who wants to make a positive contribution to our growing team.

Who are we?

At Bannister In Home Care, we’re passionate about helping older Australians remain independent and live life on their own terms.

We believe exceptional care isn’t just about meeting someone’s needs — it’s about understanding their goals, respecting their choices and helping them maintain the lifestyle and independence that matter most to them.

Our team works collaboratively to deliver personalised, high-quality care, and we believe the people providing that care deserve to feel supported, respected and valued.

Ready for something more?

If you’re an experienced nurse who wants to use your clinical skills in a more varied, autonomous and relationship-focused role, we’d love to meet you.

This is your opportunity to combine your passion for nursing with clinical leadership, client advocacy and meaningful care coordination — all while helping older Australians live better at home.
