About the role:

Common tasks include, pathology collection, ECG, spirometry, holter monitors, BP checks, wound management, medication administration, immunisations, iron infusions, patient observations and assisting the RN when acutely unwell or trauma patients present to the clinic.

Where you’ll be working:
Buladelah is a charming country town in New South Wales, perched where the Myall and Crawford Rivers meet—its name deriving from the Aboriginal term for "meeting of the waters". Nestled at the foot of Alum Mountain, Buladelah is a gateway to the Myall Lakes National Park and offers scenic bushwalking, rich heritage sites like the 1886 courthouse museum, and access to one of NSW’s tallest native trees, “The Grandis”.

As our preferred applicant, you will:

• Be a great communicator, both verbal and written
• Enjoy being part of a close knit team
• Have curiosity and be open to learning new skills
