Registered Nurse – Flexible Country Home Care (School‑Hours Friendly)

Step into a nursing role with freedom, flexibility and real connection — no two days the same.

Are you a Registered Nurse who wants more time with clients, more variety in your day, and the chance to make a genuine impact in your local community? Join our Home Care team and enjoy meaningful, one‑on‑one care while travelling through scenic country areas in the Lockyer Valley and Scenic Rim.

This role is ideal for someone seeking school‑hour-friendly work, flexibility, independence and a supportive team culture. If you’re committed to supporting older people to live safely and independently at home, you’ll feel right at home with us.

Location: Based at our Laidley Home Care office, supporting clients across Tabeel Home Care (Laidley), Teviot Home Care (Boonah) and the country towns and communities throughout the region in between.

Employment Type: Initially 56 hours per fortnight, with the potential to increase as service demand grows
Pay: Salary based on experience (starting from $38.83/hr) + Super + Salary Packaging + Staff Discounts & Benefits

A Role With Lifestyle Built In

Enjoy a nursing career that gets you out and about — not stuck in one place all day. This role gives you the freedom to work independently, spend your day travelling through beautiful countryside, and build genuine connections with clients in their own homes.

Instead of shift bells, ward pressures or rushing from task to task, you’ll enjoy a calmer pace, meaningful one‑on‑one care and the satisfaction that comes from supporting older people where they’re most comfortable.

Every day brings variety: peaceful drives, friendly small communities and the unique privilege of providing care that truly makes a difference.

You can choose to use a pool car or your own vehicle and claim mileage — whichever suits you best.

• Complete assessments, care plans and clinical documentation
• Mentor and support Home Care Workers across both service areas
• Build strong, trusting relationships with clients and families
• Provide clinical guidance, reassurance and support
• Plan your day efficiently — grouping visits by location and using initiative to minimise unnecessary travel

• Ensure care is delivered in line with Aged Care Quality Standards
