At Alzheimer's Queensland (AQ) the quality of the living environment within its homes is a key element to providing quality care. The extremely well-appointed interior of Garden City Aged Care will operate based on a home-like model with dedicated carers rather than the traditional aged care facility model.

The Role

Alzheimer's Queensland are taking applications for Registered Nurses for our facility to be responsible for providing safe, person-centred and evidence-based practice for the health and well-being of residents. You will work in partnership to enable shared decision making and care delivery between the person, nominated partners, family, friends and health professionals.

The Registered Nurse promotes AQ's organisational values of Social Role Valorisation (SRV) principles and works in accordance with these principles as well as our facilities policies and procedures, in a manner that encourages the independence and engagement of residents.
