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 Dialysis Nurses 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:

Qualification/s and minimum 2 years haemodialysis nursing experience.
Current Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority (AHPRA) registration.
Certification of Basic Life Support (BLS)
Current National Criminal History (police check) less than 6 months old.
Unrestricted driver license to be able to drive in the NT.

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 Dialysis Nurse, 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.
