 As the Hospital in the Home (HITH) Unit Manager, you will serve as the clinical and operational cornerstone of our HITH service. This pivotal position requires a seamless blend of advanced clinical expertise and strategic leadership to ensure the delivery of safe, efficient, and high-impact patient care. Furthermore, you will play an essential role in driving our integrated service approach across Palliative Care at Home and Virtual Health portfolios.

Your clinical judgment will guide our multidisciplinary team, your operational acumen will ensure seamless daily workflows, and your leadership will foster the growth of this vital community service.

• Measure & Improve: Track key performance indicators like patient satisfaction and readmission rates, using data to continuously enhance our care and impact.

What We’re Looking For:

• A Seasoned Clinician: A Registered Nurse with AHPRA registration and a strong background (5+ years)
• A Natural Leader: Experience as a Nurse Unit Manager or similar leadership role is highly regarded, but we will support a high-potential nurse ready to step up.

• An Exceptional Communicator: A people person who builds rapport effortlessly with clinicians, patients, and families, both in person and over the phone.
• A Guardian of Quality: You have a sharp eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to safety, compliance, and best-practice documentation.

• Lead with Purpose: Enjoy the unique opportunity to lead and innovate within our HITH service, where you can directly influence care models and patient outcomes on a broader scale.
• Career Growth: This is a senior role with real responsibility, offering opportunities for professional development and career advancement within a growing organisation.
