You’ll Bring
- AHPRA registration and relevant postgrad qualification or clinical educator experience.
- Strong emergency and acute care skills (ALS and cannulation competence).
- The ability to lead, inspire, and develop others through education and mentorship.
Why You’ll Love It Here
- A supportive, collaborative workplace where your ideas matter.
- The chance to truly see the impact of your teaching in a small rural team.
- Access to local leadership development and education opportunities.
- Affordable living, great schools, and an unbeatable rural lifestyle.
