Central Coast Local Health District (CCLHD) has an opening for permanent full-time Registered Nurse to join the Hospital in the Home (HITH) team at Gosford, Wyong Hospitals, and the Long Jetty Health Care facility. In this vital role, you will serve as primary health care worker in the community, providing acute clinical care to patients in their homes or at HITH clinics.

Close ties with both the community sector and the acute hospitals within Central Coast Local Health District will be required.

You will play a key role in driving innovation and leading the development and delivery of patient education programs, ensuring that patients and their families are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to make informed healthcare decisions. This includes providing education on their conditions, medications, and self-care strategies, enabling them to actively participate in managing their health and improving their overall wellbeing.
