About Us
Join our compassionate and flexible team at Midnight Cloud Chaser, a family-owned organisation providing 24/7, nursing and high-intensity disability support for a single client in her family home.
Our client's complex needs underpin every aspect of our service — she even named the business. We operate with a strong culture of clinical excellence, respect, collaboration and supported decision-making. Our multidisciplinary team includes nurses, physiotherapy assistants and allied health professionals, many of whom have been with us long-term. We believe that when staff are well supported, they deliver the highest quality care.
As Midnight Cloud Chaser continues to grow, we are seeking an experienced Clinical Nurse who enjoys combining hands-on clinical care with leadership, mentoring and service development.
This role suits nurses who value relationships, clinical autonomy and thoughtful decision-making over task-based care.

About the Role
This is a hands-on, patient-facing Clinical Nurse role with additional responsibility for clinical leadership and service development.
In addition to working regular shifts, the Clinical Nurse provides higher-level clinical oversight, supports escalation and decision-making, mentors staff and contributes to strengthening clinical systems, training and practice across the service.
This is not a purely managerial role — applicants must be willing and able to continue working directly with the client.
