MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY

The Rev. Bill Crews Foundation ('BCF') is one of Sydney's largest frontline charities and has been supporting people experiencing homelessness, poverty and disadvantage for almost 40 years.

Our mission is simple: The person in front of us.

Through our medical, social welfare, food relief and education programs, we provide practical support and compassionate care to thousands of people each year.

ABOUT OUR HEALTHCARE TEAM

Our multidisciplinary healthcare team delivers high-quality primary healthcare services to some of Sydney's most vulnerable communities through our fully equipped medical clinics in Ashfield and Blacktown.

We are seeking an experienced and compassionate Registered Nurse ('RN') to join our growing healthcare team on either a full-time or part-time basis (minimum three days per week).

This is not a hospital ward role. It is an opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients, work autonomously within a supportive multidisciplinary environment and provide healthcare that genuinely changes lives.

WHY JOIN BCF?

We offer:

• Full-time or part-time employment (minimum three days per week)
• Salary packaging benefits of up to $15,900 per annum
• Supportive multidisciplinary team environment
