About the Opportunity
Are you a perioperative nurse who loves the dual challenge of anaesthetics and post-anaesthesia care? A premier private hospital in the heart of Hobart is seeking an adaptable Registered Nurse to join their dynamic theatre team in a combined Anaesthetics & Recovery role.
This facility is a key provider of healthcare in Tasmania, featuring a busy, modern theatre suite that handles an impressive range of surgical specialtiesincluding orthopaedics, general surgery, gynaecology, and urology. By stepping into this dual role, you will have the perfect platform to maintain a diverse skill set, handling everything from initial airway management and intubation assistance to acute post-operative emergence and pain management.
Whether you are a Hobart local looking for a highly supportive team culture, or an interstate nurse looking to trade traffic jams for the incredible food, wine, and wilderness lifestyle of Tasmania, this permanent position offers the ideal next step.
The Day-to-Day Focus
Anaesthetic Support: Work hand-in-hand with specialist anaesthetists during the critical induction, maintenance, and reversal phases of anesthesia.
Acute PACU Care: Provide one-on-one, high-quality airway monitoring, pain titration, and hemodynamic stability checks as patients emerge from surgery.
Pre-Op Workups: Conduct thorough clinical checks and prepare specialized anaesthetic equipment, drug lines, and monitoring systems for upcoming cases.
Patient Advocacy: Maintain an uncompromising focus on clinical safety, infection control, and patient reassurance throughout the perioperative journey.
What You Bring to the Team
Professional Standing: Current, unrestricted AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse.
Perioperative Track Record: Minimum 1224 months of recent experience in acute Anaesthetics and/or Recovery (PACU) nursing.
Clinical Agility: The flexibility and confidence to transition smoothly between anaesthetic assisting and post-op recovery duties.
Calm Under Pressure: Strong critical thinking skills with the ability to identify and respond rapidly to physiological changes or emergency situations.
Why This Role Stands Out
Tassie Lifestyle: Live and work in a vibrant, accessible capital city surrounded by stunning coastlines, mountain trails, and a booming cultural scene.
Smooth Transition: Generous relocation support packages are available for eligible interstate candidates making the move across the Strait.
Flexible Rostering: Highly collaborative shift planning that actively supports a healthy work-life balance and family commitments.
Career Progression: Access to comprehensive clinical education, funded post-graduate study pathways, and clear routes into senior or leadership roles.
