Achieve Something Great
Step into a vital and highly specialised role where your expertise can make a profound and lasting difference. As a Clinical Nurse Specialist Grade 2 in the Sexual Assault Service, you will provide holistic, trauma informed, culturally responsive and patient centred forensic and medical care to people aged 14 years and over. Working within a multidisciplinary and multi agency framework, including NSW Police, the Department of Communities and Justice and key support services, you will deliver comprehensive medical, forensic and psychosocial care during some of the most critical moments in a person's life. This role is an important part of SWSLHD's commitment to Leading Care and building healthier and safer communities.
Are You the Right Fit?
You may be the right fit if you are an experienced and confident clinician with advanced assessment skills, strong clinical judgement and a compassionate approach to care. You'll bring senior nursing leadership to a specialised service where extended clinical autonomy is both supported and essential. If you value multidisciplinary teamwork, collaborate effectively across agencies, and are committed to delivering trauma‐informed and culturally safe care, you will feel at home in this role. We're looking for someone who aligns with the NSW Health CORE values of Collaboration, Openness, Respect and Empowerment, is passionate about supporting vulnerable communities, and is motivated to contribute to high‐quality forensic, medical and psychosocial care—while helping shape specialist practice and service development.
