Registered Nurse - Oncology

Your role at St John of God Healthcare at Home

We are seeking experienced Registered Nurses to join our dedicated oncology team as we enter an exciting phase of growth and development of new service areas in WA.

Positions will be offered on a permanent part time (28-42 hours per fortnight) and on a casual basis working across the Perth metropolitan area. Shifts are available Monday to Sunday, generally visiting patients between 8am to 4pm.

The Healthcare at Home Chemotherapy and Infusions team coordinate the service, working closely with the referring hospital, medical specialists, and hospital pharmacies to ensure seamless care for patients. Before treatment begins, and throughout its duration, all patients undergo risk assessment to determine their suitability for home-based therapy.

The Position

• Interview and examine the patient, documenting the assessment findings.

• Whilst promoting an environment of confidence, confidentiality and respect, identify through discussion with the patient, family and relevant others, actual and potential problems.

• Assess and document the anticipated needs of the patient.

• Make relevant referrals as necessary.

• Document the planned nursing care and ensure the care plan remains current.

• Coordinate and delegate duties to Enrolled Nurses and Personal Care Attendants taking into consideration the patients' needs and acuity and referencing the Health Choices Model of Delegation.

• Perform the planned direct nursing care, set priorities and re-establish priorities in changing circumstances.

• Supervise Enrolled Nurses and Personal Care Attendants where required to perform the delegated nursing care.

Successful applicants will have a minimum of three years post graduate experience in acute nursing and recent experience in the administration of chemotherapies (Chemotherapy Administration and Management Competency) and infusions, together with a current IV cannulation certification and CVAD experience.

Working in the community, the ability to work both independently, and as part of the multidisciplinary care team is essential.  As the service continues to grow, flexibility with availability and rostering to meet the changing needs of our patient group is necessary.  A current WA Driver’s License is essential.

Above all, patient care will be at the core of everything you do committing to and supporting our Mission and Values.
