What you'll be doing
South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) is committed to improving the care provided to our patients in line with our vision of Working together to improve the health and wellbeing of our community.
The Kirketon Road Centre (KRC) is a targeted primary health care service located in Kings Cross, Sydney involved in the prevention, treatment and care of HIV/AIDS and other transmissible infections among people who inject drugs, sex workers, people experiencing homelessness, 'at risk' young people and Aboriginal people.
The Clinical Nurse Educator (CNE) will provide coordination, delivery and evaluation of clinical nurse education (including programs) at the unit level with a particular focus on sexual health, hepatitis C and primary health care. Such education will include orientation and/or transitioning for new nursing staff, undergraduate and casual nurses as well as meeting the ongoing educational needs of existing nursing staff.
The CNE will provide clinical supervision at the point of care within everyday clinical practice, in line with the ANMC Decision Making Frameworks for Nurses and Midwives. The CNE will also work clinically on the floor to maintain their clinical skills and to have a firsthand experience of delivering services in the KRC clinic context.
Kirketon Road Centre is one of the PaCH Sexual Health and Blood Borne Virus services, therefore this position will also work with those services to support nurse education and upskilling across the directorate.
