Job description:
If you are seeking a new professional challenge and the opportunity to shape a new service and culture from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you
Amplar Health Home Hospital is expanding its Transition Care Service to Walkerville — providing another welcoming location for public hospital patients who no longer require acute care. Here, patients can rest and recover in comfort, while helping free up hospital beds for those who are acutely unwell. This expansion builds on our innovative model of care, enabling patients to move from metropolitan and peri-urban hospital wards into a supportive sub-acute setting designed for recovery and rehabilitation.
Start your journey with us as part of the foundational team at our brand‑new site — and be ready to welcome patients when admissions begin in March.
No two days will be the same: you'll care for patients recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, helping them regain strength and confidence, in this sub-acute nursing role.
We are seeking ENs to join the team on a full time or part time (0.6 FTE as a minimum) basis.

* Maintain up to date documentation
* Contribute to care planning and patient assessments

About you
You'll enjoy a balanced 7-day rotating roster (mornings, afternoon and nights) offering variety, flexibility, and work-life balance, within a supportive team environment.
* Experience as an Enrolled Nurse
